Despite facing formidable odds and lacking the necessary resources to effectively confront the Soviet Union and its communist allies, Portugal did not lose the war. In fact, Al Venter contends that Portugal achieved significant success in difficult terrain over an extended period. However, the end of the conflict was marked by radical domestic politics. Mozambique is once again embroiled in a guerrilla war, this time against a large force of Islamic militants, many from Somalia and some Arab countries, with unequivocal support from the Islamic State. The lessons learned from Portugal's experience in Mozambique during the bush war remain relevant today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781636241104\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Al J.
