SELOUS SCOUTS: TOP SECRET WAR - LT. COL. RON REID DALY AS TOLD TO PETER STIFF

Hardcover.

1982, Galago.

432 pages.

This is the story of the Selous Scouts Regiment of Rhodesia, which was formed in 1973 and abolished without benefit of formal disbandment, when Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF took power after the British supervised elections in 1980. Its purpose on formation was the clandestine elimination of ZANLA and ZIPRA guerrillas, both within and outside Rhodesia. Their success in this field can be gauged by the fact that Combined Operations Rhodesia, officially credited them with either directly or indirectly being responsible for the deaths of 68% of all guerrillas killed within Rhodesia during the war - losing less than 40 Selous Scouts in the process.

Some shelfwear, previous owner's price inscription, but good condition overall.
