description: The interviews in this book were conducted for the Nordic Africa Institute's studies on the Nordic countries and the struggles for national liberation in Southern Africa. Around 80 representatives of the Southern African liberation movements, as well as Swedish and other opinion-makers, administrators, and politicians, reflect on the Swedish and Nordic support to these struggles. Prominent contemporary leaders -- among them Joaquim Chissano from Mozambique, Kenneth Kaunda from Zambia and Thabo Mbeki from South Africa -- give their views on a relationship that largely developed outside the public arena and of which there is scant evidence in open sources. Published as a companion to NAI's studies, the book is in its own right a reference source to a unique North-South relationship in the Cold War period.
