..read the book and strangely enjoyed it, it's well written for one... ..ok, i reckon it as a good what-if scen.. ..South Africa, 1991/2/3-ish..briefly, the story..de Klerk and cabinet get wiped by an ANC attack that was known to the hard-liners, hard-line religious maniac takes control, invades Namibia, Cubans intervene, on the side of Freedom (with Soviet backing) , things go downhill till the SA chimp get's big boom(Israeli Technology) happy. The USA does it's best to not get involved directly but has to as world metal markets go skywards, and speeds up it's non-boom intervention after a Cuban attack column gets vaporised, and the SA loonie starts dusting the mines with radioactive waste.. ..try and read the book, as a "what if", i feel it hangs together and has some interesting gaming possibilities..
