Graham, I believe, is a great storyteller as well as a first-class soldier, and this book will make you passionate about conflict and stories that would look good in a movie.
Each action is different from the other, and Graham still manages to weave them together like a fiction book. I highly recommend this book to those unfamiliar with the Rhodesian conflict, which ended in an unfortunate way for matters that were out of military aspect. However the memory of the actions of these few and brave soldiers that as the motto of the SAS says "they dared and won" remains.

It's a thoroughly engaging read with an honest clear sighted view of the world without trying to conceal anything as is so often the case with the media or to add his own personal agenda. Buy this book and read it during a boring meeting at work, or behind your PC screen the day will flash past in joy and laughter.

Army Rumour Service (ARRSE)
The text reads well and is comprehensive for the subject. The standard of illustration is first rate, and largely in full colour, with images reproduced through the text. The Wasp enjoyed a long and successful service life although the single engine did present problems from time to time. At the end of operational service, the Wasp is still operated in flying condition and as static display in aviation museums, this retirement life is also well detailed.

This isn't a huge book, but it gets through all the events and features plenty of illustrations.

This story took place over 45 years ago so to many this is history only. I am of an age that I remember all this happening and reading the 'extra' information that was not widely known at the time makes for an interesting read. The book is illustrated with maps, formation diagrams and archive photos.
Another good addition to this Cold War series and a very readable book.

Logistics in the Falklands War
While many books have been written on the Falklands War, this is the first to focus on the vital aspect of logistics.

Armoured Warfare in the Vietnam War
Historian and collector Michael Green shows in this fascinating and graphically illustrated book that the two wars that engulfed Indochina and North and South Vietnam over 30 years were far more armoured in nature than typically thought of. By skilful use of imagery and descriptive text he describes the many variants deployed and their contribution.… Read more...

Cobra! The Attack Helicopter
The history of the Cobra helicopter is a long and varied one, characterised by extensive deployment in some of the most dynamic theatres of war. Designed in 1965, we are fast approaching the 50th Anniversary of the craft's inception into the world of combat flight, so it seems timely that we should be presented with this, a comprehensive historical… Read more...
