Critics Review
It is held here for the meticulous descriptions of the activities of the Rhodesian troops in Mozambique, almost always victorious, sometimes very far from the border. * Africana Studia 07/02/2019 *
Hannes Wessels
Hannes Wessels was born in Southern Rhodesia, but grew up in Umtali on the Mozambican border. He is part-owner of a lodge on the Zambezi and is keenly interested in all matters relating to African wildlife and conservation. He is the author of ‘A Handful of Hard Men: The SAS and the Battle for Rhodesia’.
Andre Scheepers spent his childhood on a farm in the Rhodesian bush before joining the Rhodesian Light Infantry commandos, followed by the SAS in 1974. He was wounded on 12 occasions during the Rhodesian Bush War. He declined an offer to join the British SAS, instead choosing to enter a seminary and later become a priest. A true leader, beloved by his men, his calmness in extreme danger coupled with his ability to think his way out of tight corners made him the quintessential SAS officer.
