The Jungle Fighter is a refreshing, revealing portrait of the life of PETER EKANDJO. It traces his history, from a village boy and battle tested fighter to a lone clandestine operative inside Namibia. It is a refreshing autobiography of a gallant peoples Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) fighter, who spent seven years operating inside Namibia. Five years were spent engaging the colonial security forces in various battles, while two years were spent on clandestine assignments in Windhoek, Walvisbay, Luderitz, Grootfontein, Oshakati, Ondangwa, and other places across the northern part of Namibia. The book also provides an insight on how Peter Ekandjo ended up in enemy hands on the 1st May 1986 after his former comrade had betrayed him. He was arrested whilst on his way to Walvisbay on a clandestine mission. Further, the book attempts to detail how he planned his miraculous escape  under life-threatening circumstances when he was wounded by enemy fire during his audacious escape from an enemy cell in Oshakati on the midnight of 30 October 1986.  The book recounts attempts by enemy forces to either re-arrest or kill him after his escape. The enemy forces launched manhunt operations, of foot soldiers backed by aeroplanes, to either re-capture or kill him.

 And direction was given - Alan Flederman (SIGNED!) - 2005 - many black and white photographs - Paperback in good, clean and tight condition. In the dying days of World War II, Alan Flederman was a POW in Italy. As the Allies advanced, there was an ever-present threat that he and his fellow prisoners would be despatched deep into the land of their fears - Germany. Not one to sit around waiting for such a potential fate, Flederman, along with a small band of other prisoners, planned an escape, which, though successful, did not end beyond the perimeter fence of the camp. This book tells the story of the journey from the prison camp to true freedom, through war-torn Italy, where danger lurked in even the most rural hamlets, to the heavily patrolled Swiss border. Flederman reflects on how, without the help, kindness and shelter of the families and individual men and women of the tiny villages that he traced his journey through, he might never have made it. The enormous personal risk these people put themselves in by sheltering him is a debt he passionately acknowledges.
