Ganges Double Massacre

This book tells in graphic details how the British were let down and betrayed by trusted allies who not only massacred the troops they were allied with but then slaughtered innocent women and children in a blood lust. Its told in so much detail its almost as if Col Northaker was an 'embedded' journalist of this time.An excellent read,well detailed and brings alive a 'Dark moment' in the not so distance past of the British Empire.

The Search for Puma 164

The battle for Mapai … and the final closure
September 6, 1979 a lone Puma helicopter flies northward, leaving behind the desolation of the battle for Mapai, in Mozambique’s Gaza Province. Huddled in the cabin, two weary soldiers sit silently immersed in their own thoughts, contemplating their difficult duties ahead. WOII Graham Enslin, CSM, Support Commando, is struggling to come to terms with the death in action that morning of his younger brother Brian. The other, Lt Rick van Malsen BCR, 2IC, 1 Commando, works through the list of names in his hand, names of the 16 men who died with Trooper Brian Enslin when a South African 
Air Force Puma was shot out of the sky during the assault on the Frelimo and ZANLA stronghold at Mapai. It will be his job to send out the official death notices and to advise the next of kin that the bodies of the three South African airmen and 14 Rhodesian 
soldiers were not recovered.

Shadows in the Sand
A Koevoet tracker’s story of an insurgency war
Sisingi Kamongo & Leon Bezuidenhout

Where dust can tell time ... 
for the first time, a Koevoet operative’s story of the bush war
This is the story of a Kavango tracker who served for six years with Koevoet 
(‘Crowbar’), the elite South African Police anti-terrorist unit, during the South West African–Angolan bush war of the ’80s.

Dear all,

Many of you will already be aware that I have written a book: “Red One: A Bomb Disposal Expert on the Front Line”. It will be in the shops on 19 August 2010 but is available for pre-order on Amazon now.

Red One is the true story of my experiences as a bomb disposal officer in Iraq facing daily rocket attacks and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). In one incident I was tasked to defuse a sophisticated bomb by hand, under fire and with two friends killed by an earlier explosion lying only yards away. With little chance of survival, I left final messages for loved ones before walking to what I was sure would be my death. I defused the bomb and was later awarded the George Medal (a gallantry medal one level below the Victoria Cross) for my actions. But this is where my real battle began as, suffering from severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), I had to fight my own demons and the Army medical system to begin to recover my mental health.

Please take a look at my book on the Amazon link below; if you choose to buy Red One through this link all Amazon commission (about 5% of sale price) will go to Help 4 Heroes - an incredible charity devoted to helping injured servicemen and women.

Saving lives from Dunkirk to Afghanistan 

Their job is to put themselves in the heart of danger � to run into battle to rescue the wounded and to risk their own lives to try and save the dying. Doctors, nurses, medics and stretcher bearers go where the bullets are thickest, through bomb alleys and mine fields, ducking mortars and rockets, wherever someone is hit and the shout goes up � �Medic! We need a medic over here!� War at its rawest is their domain, an ugly place of shattered bodies, severed limbs, broken heads and death.

Synopsis
Penniless, divorced and AWOL from the British forces, Bill Parris volunteered for the French Foreign Legion in the early 1980s. Unlike many British volunteers to the Legion, Bill did not desert. He endured a horrendous training regime and, despite a fear of heights (!) joined the elite Foreign Legion Parachute Regiment. This is more than a war story - it is a personal journey too, as Bill comes to terms with his own inner demons. His five years' service included brutal combat in Rwanda and Chad, events that still trigger nightmares. But he emerged as a man at peace with himself, and with a story to tell.

OPERATION JEDBURGH

On D-Day, three hundred young American and Allied soldiers were dropped behind enemy lines to launch a secret sabotage mission code-named Jedburgh. Working with the French Resistance, the “Jeds” launched a stunningly effective guerrilla campaign against the German war machine. In this compelling narrative, Colin Beavan, whose grandfather Gerry Miller helped direct the operation for the OSS, tells the incredible story of the rowdy daredevils who carried out America’s first special-forces mission.

This gripping history of the original special op mission makes a major contribution to the literature of American warfare.
