It is difficult to find another soldier's story to equal Captain Darrell Watt's in terms of time spent on the field of battle and challenges faced. Even by the lofty standards of the SAS and Special Forces, one has to look far to find anyone who can match his record of resilience and valor in the face of such daunting odds and with resources so paltry.
In the fight he showed himself to be a military maestro. A bush-lore genius, blessed with uncanny instincts and an unbridled determination to close with the enemy, he had no peers as a combat-tracker (and there was plenty of competition). But the Rhodesian theater was a fluid and volatile one in which he performed in almost every imaginable fighting role.
After twelve years in the cauldron of war his cause slipped from beneath him, however, and Rhodesia gave way to Zimbabwe. When the guns went quiet Watt had won all his battles but lost the war. In this fascinating biography we learn that in his twilight years he is now concerned with saving wildlife on a continent where they are in continued danger, devoting himself to both the fauna and African people he cares so deeply about.

Might be a good book, if you can put up with the narrator and his pronunciation of Rhodesia "Ro-DEEZ-ya. I got as far as about twenty words, and found his voice grating. Shame

Intressant och informativ om ett elitregemente. Nackdelen är alla förkortningar och gerillaförband man fick googla för att förstå vilka dessa var och vad de slogs för.

Oerhört intressanta röster från elitenheter från Rhodesias armé i deras krig för snart femtio år sedan.

Mycket intressant bok om historiska händelser som jag inte hade en aning om. Även intressant att höra om dåtidens spec-ops taktik mm.Lite jobbig läsarröst och kanske inte PK.
