Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. 2000 Reprint. [14p] 306pp numerous illustrations some in colour. Hardback in dust jacket very good condition. 6 x 1.25 x 9.25 inches. Fire Force is the compelling, brutal account of Chris Cocks' service in 3 Commando, the Rhodesian Light Infantry, du…ring Zimbabwe's bitter civil war of the 1970s - a conflict that came to be known simply as "the bush war." The book's title refers to a tactic of total airborne envelopment developed and perfected by the RLI, together with the Selous Scouts and the Rhodesian Air Force, that became the principal strike weapon of the beleaguered Rhodesian forces in their struggle against the overwhelming tide of the Communist-trained and -equipped ZANLA and ZIPRA guerrillas. This book is not for the squeamish. It blends the intrinsic pathos and humor peculiar to war with face-to-face combat in the bush and death at point-blank range. Now, here is your chance to read what several critics have called the best book on the Rhodesian War ever written.

Add to basketSoftcover/Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Signed by author, war memoir, retrospective. One of the classic first-person memoirs of the Rhodesian Bush War, written by former Rhodesian Light Infantry officer Chris Cocks. The author recounts Fireforce operations, airborne assaults, pseudo operations, and counterinsurgency campaigns… against ZANLA and ZIPRA guerrillas during the final years of Rhodesia. Regarded as one of the finest soldier memoirs from the conflict, the work combines battlefield detail with reflections on the collapse of Rhodesia and the creation of Zimbabwe. Signed first editions are increasingly difficult to locate and command a premium among collectors of African military history. Signed by the Author.
