A Skirmish In Africa (The Rhodesian Bush War Series Book 1)

A Skirmish In Africa (The Rhodesian Bush War Series Book 1)

Set in an almost forgotten guerrilla war in what is now called Zimbabwe during the late 1970s, this is a journey into the world of young men fighting and dying at the behest of their political masters. The strain of having to survive close-quarter skirmishes preoccupy the combatants, who helplessly find themselves caught up in a conflict spinning out of control.
Mike Smith, an insecure nineteen-year old national serviceman, is immersed in a bloody insurgency witnessing horrors that seem too much for a young man to have to bear.
Tongerai Chabanga, a commander of the liberation movement, must withstand political pressure from his leaders outside the country to prosecute the war in a manner he disagrees with. At the same time, he is faced with the atrocities perpetrated of a depraved Soviet Spetznaz advisor who threatens to undo the work he has done.
