| 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.

| 4. | RHODESIA REMEMBERED produced by the RLI Assn. (UK) and Westminster King Productions
DVD
This extraordinary DVD contains three films on the Rhodesian War: a main feature, a special feature and a DVD bonus. The main feature, Rhodesia Remembered presents fascinating archival and personal testimonials from members of the Rhodesian Light Infantry, a key weapon in the counterinsurgency operations. Here soldiers, airmen and other leading figures tell their stories for the first time, and these eyewitness accounts give a powerful insight into the brutal conflict that raged in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) from 1965 to 1980. The special feature, The Troopie, records the service for the laying up of the Regimental Colours of the Rhodesian Light Infantry and the Rededication of the Trooper Statue in 2008. The DVD bonus, The Nikomo Assignment, is a pilot film that tells the true story of a plan hatched by Rhodesian Special Forces to assassinate African terrorist leader, Joshua Nkomo.

Once Upon a White Man - war and peace in Rhodesia and Zimbabwe. A true account of an ordinary "white man" born into Africa and living through extraordinary times.

With his homeland again in flames, Graham now races desperately to save his family from ruin. This book provides a clear summary of Zimbabwe's history and intriguing insights into the dilemma faced by white Africans trapped by political events.

| 7. | 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."
