1996. Hard cover with dust cover; 253 pages. Very good condition. Details of former owner in front. Under 1 kg. SAS Secret War reveals how small teams of SAS men were sent to fight in Oman where Communist guerillas were waging a savage campain. Communist victory would have given them control of the Gulf, threatening Western oil supplies. But while the World's attention was dominated by Vietnam, the SAS spearheaded the most successful counter-insurgency operation of recent times. Fighting the enemy on their own terms, the SAS changed the course of the war. A small force of elite soldiers showed how Communist guerrillas could be defeated on their own ground.   

Fireforce is the compelling, brutal but true account of Chris Cocks service in 3 Commando, The Rhodesian Light Infantry, during Zimbabwes bitter civil war of the 70sa war that came to be known almost innocuously as the bush war.  Fireforce, a tactic of total airborne envelopment, was developed and perfected by the RLI, together with the Selous Scouts and the Rhodesian Air Force. Fireforce became the principal strike weapon of the beleaguered Rhodesian forces in their struggle against the overwhelming tide of the Communist-trained and -equipped ZANLA and ZIPRA guerrillas. The combat strain on a fighting soldier was almost unbelievable, for the Rhodesians, who were always desperately short of ground troops, were sometimes obliged to parachute the same men into action into as many as three enemy contacts a day. While estimates of enemy casualties vary, there seems little doubt that the RLI accounted for at least 12,000 ZANLA and ZIPRA guerrillasbut not without cost. Fireforce is not for the squeamish. Although it has been written with unforgettable pathos and humour, it tells of face-to-face combat in the bush and death at point-blank range. It is a book which does nothing to glorify or glamorize war, for as Chris Cocks found at such a young age, war is merely a catalogue of suffering, destruction and death. Fireforce has been described by critics as being to the Rhodesian War what All Quiet On The Western Front was to World War I and Dispatches was to Vietnam. Read it it will be an experience you never forget. PAPERBACK, 368 PAGES WITH 160 COLOUR & B/W PHOTOS, SKETCHES & MAPS  Published: 2007
