Encontrei este trabalho de um Major dos Marines. Ainda não li porque é um pouco extenso. Deixo o resumo e o link para o trabalho completo.

Mozambique-Insurgency Against Portugal, 1963-1975

SUBJECT AREA History

Title:        Mozambique - Insurgency Against Portugal, 1963-1975
Publisher:    Marine Corps Command and Staff College
Date:         1 April 1984
    The object of this study is to review the insurgent movement
in Mozambique from the perspective of why it occured, how it was
conducted, and what caused the results.  The study is divided
into areas of historical background, colonial issues relevant to
the insurgency, organization of the insurgent movement, conduct
of the insurgency, and Portuguese counterinsurgent efforts.
    Mozambique is a strategically located, resource rich, African
nation which remains embroiled in turmoil despite almost a decade
of self-rule since achieving independence from Portugal.  The
global importance of the Horn of Africa and the continuing
struggle between East and West to establish influence in that
critical area necessitates a sound understanding of regional
issues and their international ramifications.  The entire
situation is an open invitation for involvement of United States
forces and is almost as predictable, in that regard, as was the
Pacific prior to World War II.  Mozambique is of particular
significance to the Marine officer because it offers over twelve
hundred miles of coastline to an amphibious force and retains
several of the finest port facilities and natural harbors on the
East African littoral.
    The conclusions drawn in the final section of this study
attempt to define the reasons for the success of the insurgency
and the failure of the counterinsurgency.  If United States
forces are committed to action in Mozambique sometime in the
future, then the lessons learned from this conflict will be very
applicable.  The enemy will probably be the same that defeated
the Portuguese; and it would serve us well to understand their
thought process and mode of operation.
