| Abstract: | The author calls into question some common assumptions about the South African Defense Force that are either untrue or of doubtful validity. He asks in particular whether South Africa has a viable defense strategy or whether its military options are more limited than is imagined; whether its military power is not already under threat from low defense spending and declining service morale; and whether the Republic is quite as formidable a power as it is frequently portrayed. |
