This is a brutally honest memoir of the war in the Rhodesia. Cocks relates the day to day life of the Rhodesian Light Infantry and their brutal battles with nationalist guerrilas. The book is exciting and, at times, touching, as Cocks recalls lost comrades, and the horrors of war. A first rate telling of a forgotten war.
