Andre Scheepers grew up on a farm in Rhodesia, learning about the bush from his African childhood friends, before joining the army. A quiet, introspective thinker, Andre started out as a trooper in the SAS before being commissioned into the Rhodesian Light Infantry Commandos, where he was engaged in fireforce combat operations. He then rejoined the SAS.
Wounded 13 times, his operational record is exceptional even by the tough standards that existed at the time. He emerged as the SAS officer par excellence; beloved by his men, displaying extraordinary calmness, courage, and audacious cunning during a host of extremely dangerous operations. Andre writes vividly about his experiences, his emotions, and his state of mind during the war, and reflects candidly on what he learned and how war has shaped his life since.
In addition to Andre's personal story, this book reveals more about some of the other men who were distinguished operators in SAS operations during the Rhodesian War.

The narrator however should have been correctly taught the proper pronunciation of several words throughout the book. The narrator does not even pronounce the authors surname correctly.
In future keep in mind to vet the pronunciation for all future books with a local to truly make the audiobook real and ensure authenticity.

The Story of this now defunct country is not as some would like to claim, a story about racism and colonialism, but a story about people some good some bad and some quite mad.
While I do not doubt that there were terrible people on both sides there are also brave, honest and genuine people as well.
The horrible things done during the war and after clearly show the depth of festering hatred and insatiable lust for power that existed in the hearts of those who claimed to be fighting for the poor and oppressed.
But arguably the most heinous acts were committed not in Africa but in Britain, the United States and many others in turning a blind eye to and enabling the mass murder and torture of those the new government claimed to be protecting.
