A 23-year-long war in Angola, fought between five Western nations, the Soviet bloc, and two superpowers, pitting the South African Defence Force against communist Angolans, SWAPO, Cubans, and Russians. The war, which began in 1966, saw every able-bodied white South African male forced to adapt physically and emotionally, with many answering the call to serve. The conflict, played out on a third-world battleground, featured the most hostile airspace in the world and complicated rules of engagement, leaving the outcome fiercely contested to this day.
