Sharon,

You may want to search the list for the string

in search of enemies

I have asked about Angola before, I believe there were a couple of
responses about other books.

"In Search of Enemies" is about how the CIA set up covert operations in
Angola. Which led the Russians to fund the group not chosen by the USA.

Which led to the South African invasion.

My question this time is not about the history, but about the
individuals. Is there a "Roll of Honour"?

Best wishes,

Keith

My boyfriend was also there - same reaction - and I would say was
suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder for a number of years
after that. He once came across a book in CNA which had random pictures
of troepies up there - and he was featured. It was soon after the whole
saga (he was luckily discharged after about 6 months with chronic
hepatitis) and he wanted nothing to do with anything that would bring
back memories, so didn't even write the title down. He now wishes he
had. I wonder what it was, and what angle it took?
