A very different tongue-in-cheek personal account about a forgotten war.
No matter how you view the Rhodesian Bush War, you will enjoy the humour and at times satire and even sadness of this true account of how men coped with the horrors and hardships of war..
Some of the personal incidents will have you laughing and crying at the same time.
The reader will meet a long suffering prisoner-of-war, infantry soldiers, helicopter gunship pilots, tribesmen, pompous army officers, mercenaries and even a duck.
Definitely not for the faint-hearted.
All this set against the background of Africa\'s sweltering heat, annoying insects, dangerous animals and venomous snakes.
It\'s more about bluestone charged, but still lustful troops coping with fighting terrorists, boredom, longing, fear and death.
It\'s not really about war heroes.
These are their stories.
They were farmers, bankers, railwaymen, shopkeepers, miners and even Members of Parliament, who every six weeks, changed their soft civilian life for battle dress, rifles and grenades.
Between 1964 and 1980 Rhodesian men from all walks of life left their families and jobs to fight for their country.
