A story of war and peace in Mozambique and beyond, Memories at Low Altitude spans four decades of southern African history, from the point of view of one of its main protagonists. Jacinto Veloso fought in the Mozambican liberation struggle and served as a Minister in Samora Machel's cabinet after independence, when the region was dominated by civil war and the conflict between East and West. Veloso's story covers many fascinating issues of this period, among them: * the conflict between FRELIMO and the South African-backed RENAMO; * the negotiations that resulted in the Nkomati Accord, in which he was a key participant; * the processes that contributed to the withdrawal of Cuban and South African troops from Angola and the independence of Namibia; * the impact of post-independence Mozambique's strictly socialist economy and its subsequent shift to a more market-orientated approach; and * the aeroplane crash in which Samora Machel was killed. Velosa's insights are particularly interesting given his role in the commission of inquiry into the crash.
