Mike tells an excellent story of heroism, loyalty, failure, and faith in southern Africa.

Terrific narration by the author and participant in the affair. Nobody tells a story like someone actually embroiled in it and listening to Mike Hoare discuss the planning, execution, failure and aftermath was fascinating, he is a master storyteller. Even though I found parts of the story somewhat unbelievable (blithely overlooking multiple indicators that the plan was compromised and lacked proper backing) I found his version of events compelling.

Compelling listen

enjoy this story on hardship and overcoming a terrible occurrence and what little government cares of those who serve it.

excellent

What makes this story is that is was narrated by Mike Hoare himself. Hoare died recently in Durban at age 100.

Great story. What struck me most was his rich use of the English language. Such writers are almost nonexistent today.

Great use of the English language!

All of Col. Mike Hoare's books I've personally heard so far are incredibly written, eloquent and very interesting, they are truly a treasure.

Fantastic insight on the Seychelles Affair

Fantastic story that reads more like fiction. My only criticism is there should have been more text on the actual coup itself more than the aftermath in prison. I was initially worried that Mike Hoare was reading the book however I needn’t have. He absolutely crushed it and if he wasn’t a former Mercenary he would have been a fine Audible narrator !!! I will definitely look for more books from Colonel Mike Hoare !!!!

Great Book
