This fascinating book is the first to cover the little known C
Squadron of the Special Air Service. Operating in Africa, the
Squadron was involved in almost continuous counter communist
terrorist operations over the period 1968 to 1980. In the unstable
final stages of British colonial and white rule, the Squadron was
never short of action. African nationalist movements, backed by
Russia s and China s direct and indirect support posed a constant
and deadly threat to the existing regimes. Small highly trained
detachments of the SAS with highly developed bush warfare skills
proved devastatingly effective and achieved results out of all
proportion to their size. Often their enemies believed that they
were facing rival factions and turned on each other. The inevitable
involvement of African wildlife adds an extra dimension of
excitement Written by a seasoned former senior member of C
Squadron, Secret **SAS Missions in Africa** paints a graphic and
thrilling account of their covert operations and the colourful
characters that undertook them.
