At The Front: A General's Account Of South Africa's Border War, Jannie Geldenhuys

As Chief of the South African Defence Force from 1985 to 1990 Geldenhuys brought his experience to bear on the South African Border War, and was part of the negotiating team which brought an end to the conflict in 1989. In this completely revised and updated edition of his 1993 account, Geldenhuys reflects on a life defined as much by a military career spanning more than four decades as it was by politics and indeed the need for peace on the African sub-continent. 288pp, SOUTH AFRICA.
