Hardcover. Etat : Good. 2nd edition. 460 pages. dj chipped and worn, name on flyleafThe Rhodesian Special Air Service, one of the most formidable fighting forces in the world, operated almost exclusively across borders during the long bitter bush war, undertaking deep-penetration missions against insurgents being harbor ed inside neighboring Mozambique and Zambia. There were missions into Botswana t oo, and at one stage, the SAS was operating without benefit of passport in all t hree neighboring territories at the same time. Long before the war escalated and the whole region became their battlefield, clandestine missions across the bord er were undertaken by SAS operators. Later, when the situation intensified, they were responsible for some of the most audacious and highly sensitive missions o f the war.The writer takes the reader from the early days on the Western Desert to the formation of the Rhodesian SAS for service in Malaya, then back to Africa where the action spans the days of the Federation, the UDI era and finally the decolonization of Rhodesia by the British in 1980. This is the first book to det ail the secret exploits of this elite regiment and it has been based on rare fir sthand interviews with operators themselves. Some of their exploits may seem far -fetched, even impossible, but then, truth is often stranger than fiction. It is a history of high adventure and daring, courage and humanism, be it driving thr ough the streets of a neighboring capital, knocking out trains, bridges and inst allations or swooping out of the morning skies then, with the ability to hit har d and fast, attacking and taking their leave, the devastation complete, the miss ion accomplished.This edition, which combines the original and the subsequent pi ctorial editions-originally published in the mid-1980s and long since out of pri.
