Description
The Rhodesian Light Infantryman 1961-80 A comprehensive study of one of modern history's most innovative and successful counter-insurgency units. Formed in 1961, the RLI was an all-white unit that incorporated foreign soldiers from various countries into its ranks, playing a key role in independent Rhodesia's struggle against the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA) and Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) during the Rhodesian Bush War. The RLI's airborne and combat capacity gave it near total tactical superiority against its opponents at times. This book explores the unit's dramatic history, shedding light on its tactics, operational concepts, and the experiences of those who served in this elite unit. With 64 pages of detailed information, this study provides a unique insight into one of modern military forces' most successful counter-insurgency units.
