This is the personal story of Dame Margaret Anstee's experiences as
Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the UN for
Angola and Head of the UN peacekeeping mission there from February
1992 to June 1993. Formerly a colony of Portugal, Angola was
awarded independence following the democratization of Portugal in
1975. After independence, disagreement emerged between Angola's
main ethno-political groups which resulted in one of the most
bloody civil wars the world has known. The author, the first woman
to head a peacekeeping mission, intersperses personal experiences
with events as they unfold, describing the horrendous sufferings of
the Angolan people and analyses the reasons for the collapse of the
process and the lessons for UN peacekeeping generally.
