 The War Diaries of André Dennison - JRT Wood - Ashanti - 1989 - 394pp, indexed, black and white photographs - Hard cover with dust cover in good, clean and tight condition. Another fighting soldier, Johan Meiring, Bronze Cross of Rhodesia, said about Dennison that somehow his battles seemed bigger brighter and bolder. His war was always noisier, far noisier, than the fights of other soldiers. At one stage of the Rhodesian conflict, A Company 2-RAR held the current record, notching up the largest single kill of the war, eliminating 32 of the enemy after a bloody day-long battle on Rhodesia's south-eastern border with Mozambique - But Dennison's war was largely a blunt, no frills operation. There was no glamour in the killing ground. The glamour was at home. She was his pert attractive British wife, Helen. After the failure of this, his second marriage, and her subsequent return to her aristocratic home in Britain, there were other glamorous women. There were other wars, too. Egypt, Cyprus, Aden, Borneo, The Oman and Northern Ireland. Of these he spoke as little as he did of his women. But there were unguarded moments when Dennison hinted of dark deeds. Like the elusive IRA leader holed up in his Londonderry safe house, where the frustrated SAS could not legally reach him for months on end. Then came the mysterious, never explained shotgun blast in the dark of the night, snuffing out the IRA man on his own doorstep when he answered the coded knock known only to his mistress. There was an equally inexplicable incident when the newly arrived British Commissioner designate, Field Marshall Lord Carver, flew in to meet 2-RAR. Moving down the line of officers at 2-RAR HQ in Fort Victoria, the Field Marshall paused to exchange a few words with each. Introduced to Dennison, he paused briefly but then moved on wordlessly, ignoring the outstretched hand. Dennison never spoke about it and no one thought of asking Lord Carver. Mostly he kept his thoughts to himself and wrote of the war as he had seen it. He would labour into the night over his diary, recording events while memories still jangled fresh in his mind. There were reports of large fireforce actions and of 2-RAR officers and men receiving bravery awards. And there were tersely worded Combined Operations HQ's communiquÌ©s announcing deaths in action.

Die straf vir di verraad? Die dood. In een geval moes kommandolede van hul voormalige makkers teregstel, terwyl vier broers van Wakkerstroom wat die wapen opgeneem het teen die Boeremagte almal op dieselfde dag gefusilleer is. Albert Blake het argiewe gefynkam, vergete grafstene gevind en die nageslag van tereggesteldes opgespoor om vas te stel hoe diep die verskynsel van verraad die Afrikaner geraak het. Hy het selfs afgekom op teregstellings wat nie vantevore al opgeteken is nie. Hy haal uit dagboeke en veldverslae aan om die teregstellings dramaties te herskep. Blake ontbloot hoe Boereverraad tydens die dekades van Afrikaner-nasionalisme onder die mat gevee is, maar ook hoe dit tot in die 20ste eeu nog by Afrikaners gespook het. Hierdie is die enigste en mees betroubare... manuskrip oor die onderwerp ooit in Suid-Afrika geskryf. A gripping account of Boer treason during the Anglo-Boer War. Boer turned on Boer when burghers joined the British forces or helped them in any other way. With extracts from diaries and field reports Albert Blake recounts the drama of executions by firing squad and highlights the trauma it inflicted on both the executioners and family of the executed.
