In Code Name Missa 72 we deal with extracting an agent from a hostile environment which is no easy task. For background, when Rhodesia became Zimbabwe in 1980 the war did not stop. It carried on with many Zimbabwean Army incursions into neighbouring Mozambique to find and kill RENAMO fighters. RENAMO was an anti-communist movement created by the Rhodesians to destabilise Mozambique, a Marxist country at the time. When the Rhodesians became Zimbabweans and the enemy of their creation, RENAMO, South African Special Forces stepped up and valiantly supported the anti-communist liberation ...

Code Name Foxtrot takes place in 2004 and is the first GMJ Book in chronical order, but the 6th in the Series. Here we deal with the death of a soulmate and a man driven to take revenge for her untimely death. This is where the story really starts and much is revealed about the narrator, Geoffrey Foxtrot. We reveal why Foxtrot hates Sir John McElroy, the MI6 spymaster that we meet from time to time in the GMJ Books. We also flashback in time to when Foxtrot, then still a serving Police Special Forces Company Commander, tries to rescue his kidnapped former commanding officer, Angelique’s ...

“US defense capabilities are and will remain second to none, and now because of the new defense budget of $700 billion our military will be far stronger than ever.” White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, 2 March 2018.“America has the best equipment anywhere in the world.” Donald J Trump, 13 August 2018.The Reality: “I’ll never forgive Barack Obama for what he did to our United States military by not funding it properly. It was depleted. It was old and tired, and I came in and I had to fix it, and I’m in the process of spending tremendous amounts of money, so I’ll ...

Code Name Dawson is the last book in the “Egg Breaker War” Series within the GMJ Series. It has been a long road for Angelique Dawson, the brilliant onetime South African Secret Service Head of Counter-Terrorism and Counter-Espionage. After her illegal detention in 2012 and subsequent escape and defection to France (Code Name VFO565), she came back to deal with unfinished business. The “Egg Breaker War” kicked off with a surprise attack on the households of the narrator in the GMJ Books, Geoffrey Foxtrot and his best friend, legendary Special Forces officer, Geelslang Peter Ndebele,...

In Code Name Wrangler, we address the issue of CQB (Close Quarter Battle) and how to storm a hijacked aircraft to rescue hostages. What you are about to read is 100% technically correct. We also look in detail at other rescue attempts in Code Name Wrangler like the successful Entebbe Raid, the Lufthansa Mogadishu Rescue, and the ill-fated Operation Eagle Claw (Tehran Embassy) as well as the Munich Olympics, the last two mentioned were massive failures. Ironically, storming an aircraft to rescue hostages is bread and butter work for Special Forces. It has been successfully done in history ...

Code Name Celery 50 - In this book, we deal with criminal drug laboratories being used to create weapons of mass destruction in the form of biological and bacterial weapons on behalf of terrorists. Have no doubt, such weapons will be used if terrorists gets hold of them. The Tokyo Sarin gas attack, in 1994, comes to mind. A week after this book was published, the mainstream reports came out of just such laboratories being found in Africa and were destroyed. I am not surprised, it happens often that what is revealed in GMJ Books are later confirmed by the media. The books are, after all, ...

The Switch unpacks the revolutionary research on the body's natural process for maintaining health and youthfulness as well as the 'dial' that controls it. Backed by a synthesis of the data, and with a foreword by renowned Harvard geneticists Drs. George Church and David Sinclair, The Switch not only decodes the science of autophagy but also teaches listeners how to control it and benefit from its profound impact.

Code Name Devorah deals with the use of armoured fighting vehicles in unconventional warfare scenarios. During my life, I have spoken to many South African armour officers, a breed apart and to be avoided if possible. They proudly follow something between the Russian and Prussian outlook on war. The Russians see war as a science, a mathematical exercise. The Prussians see war as an art where instinct plays a large role and the commander must have a “feeling” for the battle. The South African Armour officers combined the two doctrines to fit their needs; they see logistics, by God, and ...

Code Name Angelique looks at military gliders. When the subject was first broached, I thought this was an insane idea. Gliders were last used in 1965 when the Soviet Union got rid of theirs. But who among military history lovers do not recall the 1944 D-Day Allied glider landings? Or Germany’s attack on Crete the year before in 1943? As I examined the concept, I quickly realised that gliders can either be conventional or unconventional in use, i.e. the 1940 attack on the Belgian fort Eben Emael which opened the way for the German infantry, was done by assault pioneers who were delivered ...

Code Name One Alpha looks at human trafficking in much detail and the link with counter-terrorism. I knew about human trafficking, from the news and have read articles, however, I did not understand the true scope of the problem. As Angelique explains in Chapter 7, there are currently 40 to 43 million slaves in the world. That is close to double Australia’s population, half of that of Britain and France and about 90% of South Africa’s. Serious figures that I found difficult to comprehend. If you were to look at everyone walking around in a city like New York and imagine them in shackles...

Code Name Ndebele 14 is a follow up to the CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) book, Code Name One Alpha. Here, we explore whether it is possible to rescue downed aircrew from within a city environment and not just any city, a hostile one like Mogadishu or Mosul in recent years. This is a radically different approach from normal CSAR rescues which usually take place in rural areas. The scenario is where the aircrew are either kept safe by locals, spies or paramilitary spies (called Assassins in GMJ Books) already inside the city. Or, conceivably, the aircrew are held by the enemy after being ...

In this book, we take a hard look at the way secret agents combine with conventional and Special Forces at times, in this case, using self-propelled artillery and mobile rocket launchers, causing mayhem to their enemies. Spy games are not always simply the cloak and dagger type, the attack may well be in the form of heavy shells and rockets which accurately rain down. I show how such an artillery strike is set up by using the South African designed G-6 howitzer, a tremendously effective self-propelled 155 mm or 6.1-inch weapon which is able to accurately shoot up to 43 miles away. This is ...

Code Name VET 101 looks at several subjects of interest. The first is regarding captured weapon systems and how they can be abused against you. This is why all weapons, fuel, vehicles, whatever, must be destroyed before surrender or capture. As can be studied in history, unfortunately, this does not always happen. The same rules apply for counter-terrorism and counterinsurgency, nothing that can be used by the enemy should be captured by them, although, this too, is wishful thinking. In 2017, the Taliban displayed US Special Forces equipment, an FN SCAR rifle, ACOG scopes and night vision ...

Code Name Love 72 deals with two subjects. Firstly, the role of South African Army Cavalry Units during the long Border War 1966-1989. The cavalry use was a concept that came directly from the late South African Army Chief of Staff, General Magnus Malan. A man that I admire and one that was cruelly smeared as a child molester in a recent book that I consider to be unworthy in the extreme. Therefore, since the mainstream will spread their lies, I made sure to have on record that Magnus Malan was not, repeat not, a pedophile. If he was alive when the smear book came out he would have won a ...

Back in 1979 something odd happened in the southern sub-Antarctic Indian Ocean. On September 22nd, one of the orbiting US Vela Hotel spy satellites registered a double flash indicating that an atomic bomb had detonated close to the Prince Edward Island Group, 1,176 nautical miles south of Cape Town, belonging to South Africa. The hunt was on for the South African nuclear weapons rumoured to be in existence and being tested there. In March 2010, one of the orbiting South African spy satellites picked up a flash report coming from a Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) line of unknown origin in ...

In Code Name Halloween 38 we take a hard look at what is known as PSYOPS (Psychological Operations) or Black Propaganda. Thinking outside the box is a quality that Angelique Dawson has in great proportions and it is needed when you want to weaken your enemy from within. I wanted to know how far such operations are effective and thus dove into history to find the answers. This was an interesting book to write, the research that came out made me think hard on PSYOPS, a black art that few master. From my own service years, I knew the basics. I knew that we, as well as the enemy, were subjected...
