Description

A Breed Apart: The Inside Story of a Recce's Special Forces Training Year by Johan Raath Johan Raath, a former Special Forces operator, offers a rare and candid look at the selection and training process of the South African Special Forces in the mid-1980s. Drawing on his own experiences and those of his fellow Recces, Raath provides a detailed and insightful account of the challenges and skills required to join this elite unit. The training cycle, which includes phases such as weapons handling, bushcraft, parachuting, and urban warfare, is described in depth, giving readers a sense of the range and standard of Special Forces training. Raath's account also covers the operation in southern Angola, where the young Recces saw action for the first time, and how much of this training still forms part of present-day Special Forces training. This book provides a comprehensive and revealing look at the Special Forces, and why these soldiers are truly a breed apart.
