About This Item
Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press, 1984. Reprint. Second printing, 1985. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. viii, 248 pages. Footnotes. Tables. Index. Front flap creased, otherwise only minor wear and soiling. Previous owner's name stamped on fep. Examines Soviet policy and behavior in Third World conflicts in the postwar period, focusing particularly on five examples: the Yemeni civil war, the Nigerian Civil war, the Yom Kippur war, the Angolan civil war and the Ogaden war. This is a thorough and sophisticated study of one of the most critical current issues in world politics. Aiming to illuminate various complex tactical and operational aspects of the USSR's policy in local conflicts, the author draws on a wide and eclectic range of sources. He pays close attention to the Soviet role as arms supplier and diplomatic actor in relation to both US policy and the dynamics of the local conflict, and he concludes with a careful consideration of the effectiveness of Soviet policy and of the implications for the United States.
