A serious read for any Border War Veteran, Paratrooper or anybody with an interest in military history.
This book is illustrated and graphically designed to include previously unseen and unpublished clandestine photographs and official classified documents which reinforce and support the narrative.
For those that were "there" or who have had anymilitary experience the book will provide you with a nostalgic glimpse of what happened to myself and my paratroopers in the War at the End of the Earth.
Starting with basic training at 1 SSB and 1 Parachute Battalion , the narrative moves to Odanwa, Owamboland and the Triangle of Death.
Then onwards with 2 and 3 Parachute battalions to our experiences at the contraversial "Battle of Cassinga".
Thereafter life with 44 Parachute Brigade and finally to the end of my volunteer military Service in the SANDF Reserve Force.
