Description

Explore the intense history of the Angolan peace process through the eyes of Dame Margaret Anstee. This book provides a personal account of her time as the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the UN for Angola. Serving from February 1992 to June 1993, Anstee led the UN peacekeeping mission during a period of extreme volatility. After gaining independence from Portugal in 1975, Angola faced deep divisions between ethno-political groups. These disagreements led to one of the bloodiest civil wars in history. As the first woman to lead a peacekeeping mission, Anstee offers a unique perspective on the collapse of peace efforts during the early 1990s. This narrative blends personal experiences with the larger historical events that shaped the region. It is an essential read for those interested in international relations, peacekeeping history, and the complex political landscape of post-colonial Africa.
