Produktinformasjon

<p>During the Cold War, communist Czechoslovakia was one of the largest arms exporters to the Middle East among the Soviet Bloc countries. This volume of the <em>Czechoslovak Arms Exports to the Middle East</em> mini-series describes the history of arms deliveries from Czechoslovakia to Algeria, Libya and Morocco, including related military assistance.</p><p>Between the 1950s and 1980s, Czechoslovakia supplied arms to Arab states in North Africa. In Algeria, the first covert deliveries to local anti-French rebels served commercial purposes, with obsolete weapons being exchanged for US dollars. The unsuccessful delivery aboard the merchant ship Lidice, which was detained by France in 1959, caused a diplomatic crisis with Paris. Though Prague later sent free shipments hoping for political ties, Algerian purchases remained limited until the late 1980s.</p><p>In Morocco, cooperation was brief yet intense (1967–1968), involving armoured vehicles and their spare parts, with a maintenance facility built later. However, collaboration ended shortly after.</p><p>Libya’s 1969 coup marked the beginning of Czechoslovakia’s peak in arms exports. By the early 1980s, Libya had acquired large amounts of military equipment and hosted hundreds of advisors under Operation Litomyšl – the largest foreign deployment of Czechoslovak troops during the Cold War. This volume tells the story of Czechoslovak military involvement in Libya up to 1979, to be completed in Volume 6 of the miniseries.</p><p>Using declassified original documentation, this is the most comprehensive account of the Czechoslovak military involvement in the Middle East during the Cold War ever published. <em>Czechoslovak Arms Exports to the Middle East, Volume 5: Algeria, Libya and Morocco 1948–1989</em> is extensively illustrated throughout with original photographs and specially commissioned colour artworks.</p>
