Authored by John Delaney - he is regularly mentioned in the Parabat book "Nineteen with a bullet" ( which I also sell )

At 19, John Delaney was a tough, highly-trained Parabat, a member of the elite South African Parachute Battalion who had fought bush wars in Namibia and Angola. The impulse to fight, to demand respect, even to kill, burned strongly within him. Back in civilian life he was a man without boundaries. The girls, drinking, drugs and brawling failed to mask his emptiness.

John has devoted his life to helping those who are less fortunate than himself, including Aids victims, street children and the poor.

This is his story.

 

It says the following on the back of the book,

"As i peered under the branch, I saw an enemy soldier lying on his back, with his weapon pointed at me and ready to fire. I took a step back and raised my rifle, but the range was too short and there was no room to aim. I fired..."

 

It has some border war pics. I think from his own collection.
