Description

Orphan of the Cold War offers an intimate account of Dame Margaret Anstee's tenure as Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General and Head of the UN peacekeeping mission in Angola from February 1992 to June 1993. As the first woman to lead a UN peacekeeping operation, Anstee provides a firsthand perspective on one of the twentieth century's most devastating civil conflicts. Published by Palgrave Macmillan, this historical biography traces Angola's path from Portuguese colonial rule through independence in 1975 and into the brutal conflict that emerged between the nation's main ethno-political groups. The author weaves personal experiences throughout the narrative, offering readers both a detailed historical account and an intimate window into the challenges of diplomatic intervention during the Cold War's final years. Essential reading for those interested in African history, UN operations, peacekeeping failures, and the geopolitical complexities of the early 1990s.
