À propos de ce titre

Anyone living in Rhodesia during the 1960s and 1970s would have had a father, husband, brother, or son called up in the defense of the war-torn, landlocked little country. A few of these brave men would have been members of the elite and secretive unit that struck terror into the hearts of the ZANLA and ZIPRA guerrillas infiltrating the country at that time - the Selous Scouts.

Twice decorated - with the Member of the Legion of Merit (MLM) and the Military Forces' Commendation (MFC) - Andrew Balaam was a member of the Rhodesian Light Infantry and later the Selous Scouts for a period spanning 12 years. This is his honest and insightful account of his time as a pseudo operator.

In later years, after Rhodesia became Zimbabwe, he was involved with a number of other former Selous Scouts in the attempted coups in the Ciskei, a South African homeland, and Lesotho, an independent nation, whose only crimes were supporting the African National Congress. Training terrorists, or as they preferred to be called, "liberation armies", to conduct a war of terror on innocent civilians, was the very thing he had spent the last 10 years in Rhodesia fighting against. This is the true, untold story of these failed attempts at governmental overthrows.

Great insight into what should never be forgotten. A lesson for all, particularly politically. A reminder you can only trust that around you and that which you really know, and yourself…. In places where you can breath and live and be…. somehow free

The Autor showed in a very good manner, how much Suffering is behind the famous Selous Scouts and that the worst about War, are the Politics and Politicians.

If you always wanted to learn about Rhodesia, the Rhodesian Light Infantry and the Selous Scouts. This is your Book!
But dont expect this Story to be Like the "Navy Seal Hero" Songs you are used to nowadays.
This is as rural as it can get.

Alot of Misery and Suffering

This book describes the story of a young man joining the Rhodesian Armed Forces, his experiences, often his misery and his own shortcomings.

It gives a fair insight into the every day life back then and there.

Mostly it left me with feeling sorry for him and a bit confused since the storytelling jumps or stops suddenly.

The speaker was impeccable.

Okay
