| Comment on Tony Southall's review (see link below) of Claude Gabriel's 'Angola, le Tourmant Africain?' . There may be 'authors' who have charted 'a straight line between the heroism and self-sacrifice of the (Angolan) liberation fighters and the construction of a new supposedly socialist state' . If so, I have not been among them; and there are no such 'straight lines' in the book of mine to which he refers. Southall's evident ignorance of Angolan realities may drive him back on argument by innuendo; the argument remains an empty one. |
