The Covert War (Hardcover) by Stiff , P
Published by Galago Publishing Pty Ltd
The mostly untold story of Koevoet - the SA Police's highly successful counter insurgency unit. It was formed in 1979 and deployed in Namibia until independence in 1989 when it was disbanded in accordance with UN. During its almost ten year existence it fought in 1 615 contacts and killed or captured 3 225 of SWAPO's PLAN soldiers - the equivalent of almost six battalions of troops. But it paid a high price in blood and lost almost 160 policemen killed in action with another 949 wounded - more grievous casualties than any other SA fighting unit since World War II.
