DESCRIPTION:This paper illuminates the controversial and long debated rela
 tionship between Pretoria and Washington aimed at securing a favourable ou
 tcome in the Angolan Civil War. The allegation of collusion has been avoid
 ed ever since by American policymakers\, while in South Africa the myth of
  abandonment by the Ford Administration became a powerful force in domesti
 c politics\, driving a renewed focus on unilateral and ruthless solution t
 o the country's security problems. But what was the reality of the relatio
 nship? Did Washington collude with apartheid South Africa to influence a p
 ower struggle in black Africa? This paper draws upon new archival material
  from both countries\, as well as interviews\, to provide the answers.
