The author also shares a lot of personal–so to speak–biographical elements with the readers, which makes his books even more human and lifelike...worth reading for academics, members of the armed and law enforcement forces, and anyone interested in a lesser-known period of SAS activity.

Terrorism & Political Violence

An interesting, very readable book, of some 199 pages detailing some of the activities of Sierra 17 of C Squadron of the Rhodesian SAS, during the intense war there and in Mozambique before black majority rule under ZANU PF in what is now Zimbabwe. The author was the officer commanding Sierra 17 during this period. The Rhodesian SAS were originally formed from history as C Squadron 22 SAS and have at the time this book relates too, kept the historical link with their founding Regiment.

Army Rumour Service (ARRSE)

The SAS are a premier Special Forces Organisation and the nature of their role results in very little coverage in print. This new book, by a 2IC of C Squadron is a fast paced exposure of SAS operations in Africa in the late 1950s through to 1980. – Most Highly Recommended.

What a pleasant read, I received this book not knowing much about this subject but found it unputdownable once I started.
It is written by a soldier who lived through the action and it describes the covert war in rhodesia and it is written in a way that engages its reader..... This is what makes this a 5 star book.
Anyone interested in the SAS family will not be disappointed by this fantastic book.
