This study describes the buildup of the South African military industry, detailing how a desperate buyer and eager suppliers have bent or pre-empted the rules of embargo. Landgren reveals that multinational corporations in France, West Germany, Israel, Italy, Britain, and America have been important sources of military technology for South Africa, and illustrates the degree of both self-sufficiency and vulnerability South Africa has gained through its acquisition of military know-how.
