Graham, Micheal SAS Action in Africa. Terrorists, Poachers and Civil War C Squadron Operations: 1968-1980

This gripping action-packed book is the eagerly awaited sequel to the best-selling "Secret SAS Missions in Africa". C Squadron SAS", comprising dedicated battle-hardened veterans, operated against ruthless terrorist groups, trained and equipped by the Chinese and Russians between 1968 and 1980. The Author, who rose to be the Squadron Second-in-Command, is superbly qualified to tell the inside story of their daring and deadly operations undertaken regardless of international borders in former Southern Rhodesia, Zambia, Angola and Mozambique. These include actively supporting Renamo, who were bitterly opposed to the Marxist/Leninist Frelimo regime in Mozambique. Operation "Dingo", the Squadrons largest mission, destroyed a large ZANU training base and almost tipped the balance of power against Mugabe. We learn the story behind the shooting down of two civilian aircraft in what is now Zimbabwe and the special force follow-up to exact revenge. Also described are anti-poaching operations against break-away groups intent on trading ivory and rhino horns.

Among other things, the reader learns the story behind the shooting down of two civilian aeroplanes in present-day Zimbabwe and the pursuit of the culprits by the SAS command with the aim of exacting revenge. Operations against poachers and ivory dealers are also described.
