| 1. | The Bush War In Rhodesia: The Extraordinary Combat Memoir of a Rhodesian Reconnaissance Specialist
Paperback (484 pages) by Dennis Croukamp (Paladin Press)
The Rhodesian Bush War. It was a ferocious guerrilla warfare campaign between the regular and elite units of the Rhodesian Army doing battle against Communist-backed terrorist groups in the valleys, jungles and bush country of Rhodesia, Mozambique and Zambia. Warrant Officer Dennis Croukamp fought in the conflict from its beginnings in the 1960s to the very end in 1979, and his combat memoir is an extraordinary chronicle of that bitter struggle from inside some of the most highly regarded elite combat units to ever take the field. In The Bush War in Rhodesia, Croukamp chronicles his eventful service with the Rhodesian Regular Army, the Rhodesian Light Infantry (RLI) and the Selous Scouts Reconnaisance Troop as he took part in cross-border reconnaissance operations, HALO jumps behind enemy lines, urban ops in the townships of Salisbury, raids, ambushes, demolition missions, prisoner snatches and more. And through it all, Croukamp brought along a camera, providing a remarkable visual documentation of this little-known war. This searingly honest, action-packed memoir is sure to become a classic, ground-level account of the bloody “bush wars” of Africa.

| 2. | Sunshine and Storm in Rhodesia
Paperback (342 pages) by Frederick Courteney Selous (Juniper Grove)
In March of 1896, the Ndebele people revolted against the authority of the British South Africa Company to initiate what is known as the Second Matabele War, or First Chimurenga, one of many conflicts in the long embattled history of what is now Zimbabwe. Sunshine and Storm in Rhodesia is a riveting and thoughtfully written account of this war by a man who experienced it firsthand - Frederick Courteney Selous. In this book, Selous discusses the factors that led to the war, what life was like in the colony in the 1890's, race relations between the indigenous African population and the predominantly white European settlers, and the dangers and adventures he and other legendary military leaders such as Frederick Russell Burnham, Robert Baden-Powell, and George Grey faced as they led patrols to protect the settlers in the region, rescue the injured, and locate those who had been killed. Included are 17 illustrations, a map, a comprehensive index, lists of the names of those settlers and military personnel murdered, missing, or wounded in the rebellion, and a quantitative list of the homesteads, crops, and animals that were either stolen or destroyed. This Juniper Grove printing is an unabridged photo-reproduction of the original 1896 edition.

| 3. | Guns for Hire: How the CIA & US Army Recruit Mercenaries for White Rhodesia
Paperback (40 pages) by Jon Dough (Kersplebedeb)
A collectors item from the anti-colonial struggles of the seventies. This text details how the US military and CIA colluded with Solider of Fortune magazine and others to send white mercenaries to fight for the Ian Smith regime in Rhodesia. While the nitty gritty details are mainly of historical significance, given the heavy reliance on "contractors" in Iraq and elsewhere, the broad outlines of this work remain relevant today. Originally published in the 1970s, this new introduction has an introduction written in 2005. From the introduction by Jon Dough: "Although the CIA's mercenary operation for Zimbabwe had failed in the end, the machinery remains as a covert weapon that can be restarted and put to use in new imperialist interventions and wars in the Global South. That's why this investigative report still has useful knowledge for everyone tracking the bloody footprints of the u.s. empire."- ISBN13: 9781894946179
