Synopsis
Military historians regard this memoir as a modern primer on counterinsurgency warfare in Africa. Author Chris Cocks was a highly decorated soldier in the elite Rhodesian Light Infantry. His book is a gut-wrenching tale of the savage face-to-face fighting in the African bush. An authentic portrayal of one of Africa's ugliest wars by a soldier who was there.

Fireforce: One Man's War in the Rhodesian Light Infantry
Seller: SPHINX LIBRARY, CHONBURI, Thailand
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. 2000 Reprint. [14p] 306pp numerous illustrations some in colour. Hardback in dust jacket very good condition. 6 x 1.25 x 9.25 inches. Fire Force is the compelling, brutal account of Chris Cocks' service in 3 Commando, the Rhodesian Light Infantry, during Zimbabwe's bitter civil war of the 1970s - a conflict that came to be known simply as "the bush war." The book's title refers to a tactic of total airborne envelopment developed and perfected by the RLI, together with the Selous Scouts and the Rhodesian Air Force, that became the principal strike weapon of the beleaguered Rhodesian forces in their struggle against the overwhelming tide of the Communist-trained and -equipped ZANLA and ZIPRA guerrillas. This book is not for the squeamish. It blends the intrinsic pathos and humor peculiar to war with face-to-face combat in the bush and death at point-blank range. Now, here is your chance to read what several critics have called the best book on the Rhodesian War ever written. Seller Inventory # 001165
