Rhodesian Fire Force 1966-80 (Africa@War)

A relatively concise description of the non-communist settler dominated military airmobile counter-insurgency campaign that was innovative if ultimately overwhelmed by numbers and money of communist supported forces. Not enough background on the political and civil situation in Rhodesia during this period.

Very quick read. If you’re looking for some good info and story recounts this is a good place to start.

I was part of the cause. Good memories

The only issue was that the book cover was different than advertised.

Enjoyed

Excellent and historically informative.

Excellent Booklet on the Rhodesian Fire Force. A great indept look into there short awesome career as the elite of the elite. They are the defention of what a qucik reaction unit is all about!

Very accurate and interesting

Possibly a small footnote in 20th century history, but an interesting subject nevertheless.I really appreciate this book! Well written, fair/unjudgemental. On the same level as JRT Wood's work about recent Rhodesian history.Well worth reading!!!

Nothing new to me but it was an honest narrative without any exaggeration. The writer explained a unique mode of warfare quite clearly

A well explained insight into COIN ops during the Rhodesian bush war. Recommended for any student of African bush wars but would not be out of place in military colleges.

Simply say this is a must for anyone interested in the Rhodesian Bush War

A great read for those who wish to know how innovative and complext the co-operation between various branches of the military was to make the fireforce principle a success.
