Andy Ryan The Rhodesian SAS at War

The Rhodesian SAS was one of the world's leading Special Forces units. Highly trained and motivated, they took the fight to the very heart of the two communist terrorist armies who were waging war on Rhodesia. Time and again, from the air, overland, and by boat across the great lakes and rivers, the SAS struck ZANLA and ZIPRA, causing massive losses and grievous damage to both organisations then disappearing to re-emerge where they were least expected. While all SAS missions defied the odds, some were truly breath-taking in terms of both their audacity and success. 'The Rhodesian SAS at War' is a stunning account of Rhodesian Special Forces operations from 1966 to 1978. Encompassing the first few faltering steps of the then C Squadron 22 SAS through to deadly machine the 1st (Rhodesian) SAS Regiment was to become. The book takes its reader deep inside the classified world of the SAS as it explores the little known story behind some of the operations conducted by this most secretive of units during its fight against the communist guerrilla armies of Robert Mugabe's ZANLA and Joshua Nkomo's ZIPRA. It's a must read for anyone interested in military and Special Forces subjects.
