South Africa was no exception.
Book Review: Battle for Hurungwe
This title is another in the line of books written by former servicemen who had served their country during the Rhodesian Bush War, or the Liberation Struggle depending on your perspectives. Author, John Padbury, a former member of the Rhodesian Special Branch, and later a BSA Police Reservist designated to run an experimental Security Force Auxiliary (SFA) operation in the Hurungwe, which came just a little too late.
