About this book
The untold story of Rhodesian special forces and their defense of British Colonies in Africa during the Cold War, told by a soldier who was there.
In Secret SAS Missions in Africa, a former senior member of the little-known C (Rhodesia) Squadron of Britain's Special Air Service recounts their military operations in Africa during the Cold War. The Squadron was involved in almost continuous anti-communist operations over the period 1968 to 1980.In the unstable final stages of British colonial rule, the Squadron was constantly on the move. African nationalist movements, backed by Russia and China, posed a constant and deadly threat to colonial regimes. Small detachments of the SAS, with highly developed bush warfare skills, proved devastatingly effective at countering rebel factions in Kenya, Mozambique, Rhodesia, and elsewhere on the continent.
