Accomplished Account.. Accomplished, organised and detailed account of the history a powerful and intense organisation throughout wartime. The author covers, perhaps little known, major events which impacted throughout wartime including near destruction, extraordinary collaborations and the regaining of strength of the mafia whilst drawing on several personal eye witness accounts, quotations and documentation. Well researched and informative.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars An excellent book covering the civil war in the Congo in the 1960's, written by the man who ran the mercenary commandos who supported the government in the fight against the rebels. The book is beautifully written, very old school style which adds to the charm of the book. The story is fascinating and gives a unique insight to the the workings of a mercenary unit fighting in Africa. Highly recommended and worthy of a space on your bookshelf.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars I absolutely loved reading this book. I was completely drawn into the topic and could not stop reading it. I love anything involving the Titanic.

Schafer did an excellent job translating the diary entries into English, in such a way that you feel as close to the action as it's possible to get without actually being there. You experience the biting cold, and all the hardships associated with the infamous Eastern Front. This is an excellent reading choice for those, like myself, who enjoy reading first hand accounts.
