Recce - A Collector's Guide (Hardcover) (Special Order ALLOW 5-7 Days) - Henry, Stephen

A Collectors Guide to the History of the South African Special Forces . This book has been some 15 years in the making and can claim, with some justification, to be the definitive publication on the Recces, unlikely to be topped for many, many years. The South African Special Forces have invariably been portrayed as a sinister force, used in covert operations locally and abroad but this is pure political expediency and media propaganda. The units operators are shy, humble soldiers, whose primary role is intelligence-gathering, although they will take offensive action, ruthlessly, if necessary. Highly trained professionals in a class of their own, these elite troops have garnered for themselves an international reputation par excellence.
