Operation Askari, December 1983 and January 1984, was the end of the beginning of the Bush War. Due to increasing instability in Angola, since 1975, the South African Defence Force was galvanized into developing new weapon systems and tactics. Operation Askari was the sixth largescale cross-border operation into Angola and signified a clear watershed in both military and political policies for the future. The South Africans launched conventional attacks on a wide front deep into Southern Angola. The five forces stretched over a front of more than two hundred kilometres; from Cahama in the west to Caiundo in the east.  The Operation also signified the beginning of the end. It took another five years, and additional conventional attacks, to bring an end to the conflict. This Book: "Operation Askari 1984/85- War Journal" is the result of more than ninety veterans contributing their own unique experiences to the timeline. It varies from concise inputs to a comprehensive history of the Omauni Raiders by Willem Ratte on the Techamutete Front. On the Caiundo front, Echo Company, 1 Para Bn, and Bravo Company, 32 Bn, attacked a FAPLA Brigade with great valour. Previously unpublished accounts of similar attacks, on all fronts, are recorded in this book. In this "War Journal" the author has attempted to keep the memory of that maverick operation alive.  Dawid Lotter participated as a combat team commander in Operation Askari. He partook in both the attacks on Cuvelai where a small force defeated a strong, Cuban supported, FAPLA Brigade. Operation Askari 1983/4 - War Journal is his sixth publication in five years. Softcover, 286 pages. First Published March 2018.

At the end of the Second World War some of the highest ranking members of the Nazi party escaped from justice. Some of them are names that have resonated deeply in twentieth-century history - Eichmann, Mengele, Martin Bormann and Klaus Barbie - not just for the monstrosity of their crimes, but also because of the shadowy nature of their post-war existence, holed up in the depths of Latin America, always one step ahead of their pursuers. The nature of their escape was as gripping as any good thriller. They were aided and abetted by corrupt Catholic priests in the Vatican, they travelled down secret 'rat lines', hid in foreboding castles high in the Austrian alps, and were taken in by shady Argentine secret agents. The attempts to bring them to justice are no less dramatic, with vengeful Holocaust survivors, inept politicians, and daring plots to kidnap or assassinate the fugitives. Guy Walters has travelled the world in pursuit of the real account of how the Nazis escaped at the end of the war, the attempts, sometimes successful, to bring them to justice, and what really happened to those that got away. He has interviewed Nazi hunters, former members of Mossad, travelled the 'rat lines', and poured through archives across the globe to bring this remarkable period of our recent history to dramatic and vivid life.

The end of the Second World War may have heralded peace in Europe but conflicts in Southern Africa were about to begin. The imperial powers were weakened by the cost of war and a string of wars challenged colonial rule in countries such as Namibia, Angola and Rhodesia. Once independence was achieved, civil wars between rival factions unfamiliar with democratic principles resulted. Liberation movements such as those in South Africa demanded self-rule and end to Apartheid. Tribal feuds, corruption and the ambitions of dictators led to more conflicts such as the protracted fighting in the Congo. These were wars that ran on until both sides were exhausted often only to be re-kindled after short periods of uneasy peace. The cost in human and material terms has been devastating and in too many cases remain so. Economic development has been frustrated and the result is often poverty, abuse and genocide. The Author who knows Southern Africa as a native is superbly equipped to tell this fascinating if tragic record. Hardcover, 224 pages.

Lee, Emanoel -  To The Bitter End: A Photographic History of the Boer War - Guild Publishing - pp, indexed, black and white photographs - Hardcover with dustcover: good - Internally: clean and tightly bound. Postage & packaging R This book is written around a unique collection of photographs taken during the Boer War, the majority previously unpublished.

This book is published by "The Forum" to mark the end of the armed struggle against Hitlerism, and the beginning of an even more difficult struggle by mankind to win enduring peace. It does not  purport to be a complete photographic or written history of the war, for such a work would require many volumes and would be outside the scope of this publication In a spirit of deep thankfulness, "Out of the Abyss" is dedicated to all those South Africans who rendered service to their Motherland and to the cause of freedom during the war
