Namibia - the Struggle for Liberation, by Alfred T Moleah, is an account of Swapo's struggle for Namibian independence. Sam Nujomo's autobiography in To Free Namibia: The Life of the First President of Namibia is an interesting read, and to round-out the post-colonial picture see the film The Transition to Independence in Namibia by L Cliffe et al.Black Namibian literature is emerging, but Namibia's place in fiction is largely confined to Wilbur Smith's highly entertaining The Burning Shore and Craig Thomas' A Hooded Crow.There's a plethora of natural-history books on Namibia's landscapes, flora and fauna, and various coffeetable books. Of the latter, look for Kaokoveld - the Last Wilderness by Anthony Hall-Martin, J du P Bothma & Clive Walker; This is Namibia by Peter Joyce & Gerald Cubitt; and Skeleton Coast by Amy Schoeman. Although it's now quite dated, the National Atlas of South-West Africa, by JH van der Merwe still contains a wealth of information.
