The Cold War was cold if you were in Europe, living under the shadow of the superpowers' nuclear stand-off. But in other parts of the world, the Cold War turned decidedly hot.

When Angola became independent in 1975, rival guerrilla movements were backed by different sides in the Cold War, anxious to maximise their influence in this strategic part of south west Africa.

Bridget Kendall hears three veterans of the Cold War proxy conflict in Angola - one Angolan, one Cuban and one South African. They recount a series of bloody battles - sometimes the same ones - from their different perspectives.

With Rene Gatorno, Osvaldo Leitao Willem van der Waals
