Abstract:

Massive Soviet and Cuban participation in the Angolan civil war has resulted in the victory and diplomatic recognition of the MPLA government (Popular Movement for Liberation of Angola). As a consequence, U.S. government officials as well as Kremlin-watching analysts and reporters have revived the long-dormant issue of communist export of revolution.
