Fireforce - Chris Cocks - The Bush War in Rhodesia - Dennis Croukamp Both deal with the Rhodesia War in the 1970s that ended up with white rule ending in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), the communists taking over and the destruction of a country that was once the "breadbasket of Africa". I was friends with Mr. Croukamp for 20 years. He battled cancer in South Africa for a number of years but died due to COVID 19 two years ago. He was an extremely nice guy with tons of good knowledge to utilize. My former SGM fought in the Rhodesian Light Infantry before becoming a member of the Army Ranger Hall of Fame. He introduced me to the "bush wars" and reading these books helped paint a good image on what happened down there during the 70s and 80s. I also have friends from South Africa that fought in Angola (against the Cubans) with US CIA money and intelligence. Though never "officially there", they fought a proxy war for us in the dark while we were critical of them publiclyFireforce - Chris Cocks - The Bush War in Rhodesia - Dennis Croukamp Both deal with the Rhodesia War in the 1970s that ended up with white rule ending in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), the communists taking over and the destruction of a country that was once the "breadbasket of Africa".
