520    A memoir from a Special Forces fighter about his 
       experiences in the Rhodesian War and how combat has shaped
       his life. Andre Scheepers grew up on a farm in Rhodesia, 
       learning about the bush from his African childhood friends,
       before joining the army. A quiet, introspective thinker, 
       Andre started out as a trooper in the SAS before being 
       commissioned into the Rhodesian Light Infantry Commandos, 
       where he was engaged in fireforce combat operations. He 
       then rejoined the SAS. Wounded thirteen times, his 
       operational record is exceptional, even by the tough 
       standards that existed at the time. He emerged as the SAS 
       officer par excellence -- beloved by his men, displaying 
       extraordinary calm, courage, and audacious cunning during 
       a host of extremely dangerous operations. Here, Andre 
       writes vividly about his experiences, his emotions, and 
       his state of mind during the war, and reflects candidly on
       what he learned and how war has shaped his life since. In 
       addition to Andre's personal story, this book reveals more
       about some of the other men who were distinguished 
       operators in SAS operations during the Rhodesian War. 
       "Andre was the best of the best and the bravest of the 
       brave." -- Capt. Darrell Watt, ex-SAS and subject of A 
       Handful of Hard Men.
