Although not solely about a bush war, read Scribbling the Cat by Alexandra Fuller. Her interaction with an ex-soldier is so reminiscent of the stories you hear from a Vietnam it’s scary. It’s a good but depressing book. I was not expecting to read what I did. | |||

There are actually quite a few books available here in the states on the various bush wars. Surprisingly many are available on Kindle. Is there a specific topic you are interested in? You can PM me if you like for specific recommendations. | |||

Thanks Mike Looks good " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar. Yours truly , Milan The Boarkiller - World according to Milan PS I have big boar on my floor...but it ain't dead, just scared to move... Man should be happy and in good humor until the day he dies... Only fools hope to live forever “ Hávamál” | |||

I read "The Wild Geese" by Col. Michael Hoare in the late 60's about the Congolese 'unpleasantness'.+ the mercs response.My copy is long gone but I bet you could find it on Amazon.I think the publishing date was 1965. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Fire Force - Chris Cocks 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

I second "A handful of hard men". It'd be the first one I'd read. "Gunship Ace: the wars of neal ellis, helicopter pilot" also is interesting, largely because he was involved in so many of the bush wars. | |||

Had Bush War in Rhodesia, by way of a thrift store, seemed to be part of a series. Grizz Indeed, no human being has yet lived under conditions which, considering the prevailing climates of the past, can be regarded as normal.
