New Perspectives on the Madagascar Campaign of the Second World War
The Madagascar Campaign of the Second World War remains a distinct sideshow within the broader conflict. Its marginalisation is largely attributable to the simultaneous and interconnected military operations in North Africa, the Soviet Union, East Asia, and the Pacific. Consequently, it has often been overlooked by both academic and popular historians and labelled as one of the war’s “forgotten” campaigns. This neglect has been further compounded…
Enemy within the gates
In September 1939, when the Union of South Africa entered what became the Second World War, the country was confronted with wide-spread political dissent and anti-war resistance which threatened internal security and stability.

These incidents were perpetuated by the disaff…

It reflects on the war of wor…

In South Africa tens of thousands of 'non-white' workers were mobilised during the Second World War to satisfy the Union Defence Force's (UDF's) labour needs at home and abroad. This article, firstly, outlines the role of 'non-white people', particularly black Africans, in the UDF with special reference to those employed within the Union of South Africa. Sec…
