Description

The Rhodesian SAS Special Forces: Their Most Daring Bush War Missions by Andy Ryan At the height of the Cold War, Rhodesia found itself at the forefront of a brutal conflict, pitted against two powerful communist-backed terrorist armies. The strategic aim of these backers was to install a regime friendly to their respective brands of communism, thereby creating a vital regional presence for expansion. The terrorist organisations of ZIPRA and ZANLA had a single objective: to take control of one of the continent's most prosperous nations. By 1979, the Rhodesian bush war had been raging for over fifteen years, with the need for Special Forces to take the fight to the terrorists having never been greater. The Rhodesian military possessed a secret weapon that proved devastating in combat: their Special Air Service regiment. Operating deep in the African bush, the SAS deployed by vehicle, helicopter, or parachute, often isolated from help, to strike at the enemy's heart, wreaking untold damage to the terrorist machines of ZIPRA and ZANLA.
