32 Battalion: The Inside Story of South Africa's Elite Fighting Unit

Every war has at least one unit so different, so daring, that it becomes the stuff of which legends are made and heroes are born. Among the South African forces fighting in Angola from 1975 to 1989, that unit was 32 Battalion. Founded in utmost secrecy from the vanquished remnants of a foreign rebel movement, undefeated in 12 years of front-line battle, feared by enemies that included both conventional Cuban armies and Namibian guerrilla fighters, the Buffalo soldiers became the South African army's best combat unit since World War II, with no fewer that 13 members winning the highest decoration for bravery under fire. With a roll of honour, traditional unit songs, weaponry, vehicles and aircraft used during the Angolan conflict, a glossary of foreign and military terms, a bibliography and an index. Plus maps and some rare photographs.
