Description
Survival Course: Rhodesian Denouement and the War of Self by Chris Cocks This is a deeply personal and unflinching account of the author's experiences in the Rhodesian war and his struggle to come to terms with the aftermath. The first half of the book chronicles the brutal realities of combat, where the lines between soldier and enemy are blurred, and the cost of war is borne by all. As Cocks recounts his time in the Police Anti-Terrorist Unit, he also delves into his own personal demons, including failed businesses, addiction, and the desperate search for a new sense of purpose in post-war Zimbabwe. This is a story of the human cost of war, the cruelty men can inflict on each other, and the difficult journey towards peace. Part 1, 'War', and Part 2, 'Peace', form a powerful and thought-provoking whole, offering a unique perspective on the complexities of war and its impact on those who fight it.
