The Rwandan Patriotic Front 1990-1994: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Rwandan Patriotic Front 1990-1994" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Starting with in-depth descriptions of the history of Rwandan political, military and security development, this volume traces the history of the RPA from its emergence as a small-scale insurgent group formed from the ranks of Rwandan refugee diaspora in Uganda; its military operations and related experiences during nearly four years of war against the Rwandan government; and its establishment of control over Kigali, in July 1994. As such, the narrative presented here provides a fascinating and unique insight into the military story behind the emergence of modern-day Rwanda and its military; considered by many to be the Israel of Africa. Providing minute details about RPFs tactics and doctrine that strongly influenced developments in a number of other modern-day African wars this volume is foremost an offering that provides highly interesting backgrounds for and a prequel to, nearly all of the subsequent wars in the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Illustrated with over 150 photographs, color profiles, and maps describing the equipment, colors, and markings, and tactics of the RPF and its opponents, this is a unique study about the emergence of one of the most important US allies on the African continent.
