📝 In the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, hundreds of thousands of young men were called up for military service, most of them going through extreme physical training and many being sent to fight the war in northern Namibia and Angola. This book is a collection of reflections and memories of that time, collected by JH Thompson, who interviewed numerous former National Servicemen.
Contributors include ordinary soldiers and Special Forces members, chefs, medics and helicopter pilots. They provide varying perspectives on klaaring on, training, inspection, gyppoing, Border patrols, covert operations and open combat, and re-adjusting to life in çivvy street. This book is a compelling read that captures the spirit and atmosphere, the daily routine, the boredom, fear, camaraderie and other intense experiences of an SADF soldier. For everyone who did military service, as well as their family and friends, this book is a must.
Educated in Spain and South Africa, JH Thompson, a former game ranger and travel guide, is now a Johannesburg-based writer. She works as a freelance journalist contributing features and reviews to newspapers, magazines and websites. An Unpopular War is her first book.
