Like the title says, Anyone have some recommendations pertaining to South Africa or Rhodesia? Particularly during the period when the FAL was in use?

Thanks, Allen

Fireforce by Cocks is about his service in the RLI in early 1970's or late 1960's.

I have seen these titles recommended, I cannot speak on them since I have not read them

Three Sips of Gin by Tim Bax (RLI and Selous Scouts Officer)

The Bush War in Rhodesia by Dennis Croukamp (RLI and Selous Scouts NCO)

Someone Else’s War by Anthony Rogers

PROMIS: Rhodesia , Jack Murphy

SELOUS SCOUTS: Rhodesian Counter-Insurgency Specialists , Peter Baxter

from the reading that I have done on the Rhodesian bush war, the Selous Scouts were some
tough sumbitches, jumping as many as 3 times in one day into a firefight where ever they were needed
