The horror of guerrilla warfare in Africa Fireforce is the compelling, brutal but true account of Chris Cockss service in 3 Commando, The Rhodesian Light Infantry, during Zimbabwes bitter civil war of the 70sa war that came to be known almost innocuously as the bush war. Fireforce, a tactic of total airborne envelopment, was developed and perfected by the RLI, together with the Selous Scouts and the Rhodesian Air Force. Fireforce became the principal strike weapon of the beleaguered Rhodesian forces in their struggle against the overwhelming tide of the Communist-trained and -equipped ZANLA and ZIPRA guerrillas.

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.
