Modern African Wars (4) by Peter Abbott
In the 1970s, during the ruinous 30-year dictatorship of General Mobutu, periodic rebellions required the hasty insertion once again of Belgian and French paratroops to save European lives. This title tells the harrowing story of the wars that ravaged the Congo for four decades.Peter Abbott is a retired university lecturer. He has written or co-authored a number of Men-at-Arms titles for Osprey, including Men-at-Arms 379: Armies in East Africa 1914–18. He is particularly interested in 19th- and 20th-century armies that are less well known to the English-speaking reader.
