Born Warriors – Manuel de Resende Ferreira

A5, 356p. (including some colour pages)

The Forgotten Heroes of Africa’s Cold War

The Cold War history they tried to erase.

From veteran intelligence insider and former Angolan refugee Manuel de Resende Ferreira comes a gripping new chapter in the untold history of Southern Africa’s forgotten heroes. Some names you may have heard of, others not, but they all had one thing in common: their love for Africa. Following his acclaimed titles Fighting for Another Flag and Silent Service, Ferreira turns his attention to the forgotten heroes in this powerful new narrative. Born Warriors is an essential tribute to Portuguese soldiers and civilians who stood their ground while a continent crumbled around them.

It is also a fierce testament to a soldier’s vow: “To never let their sacrifices be forgotten.”
