Cuban book about militairy Operation Carlota in Angola. The text on the cover says:”The carlota operation has concluded victory of Cuban internationalism”.
In November 1975 Cuba launched a large -scale military intervention in support of the leftist People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) against United States-backed interventions by South Africa and Zaire in support of two right-wing independence movements competing for power in the country, the National Liberation Front of Angola (FNLA) and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). By the end of 1975, the Cuban military in Angola numbered more than 25,000 troops. Following the withdrawal of Zaire and South Africa, Cuban forces remained in Angola to support the MPLA government against UNITA in the continuing Angolan Civil War. Cuban military engagement in Angola ended in 1991, while the Angolan civil war continued until 2002.
Carlota was a woman slave rebel leader in Cuba in 1843.
