In his own words Andre Scheepers describes his childhood on a farm,
learning about the bush from his African friends, and becoming a
soldier. The family had to leave the farm after being ambushed by
terrorists. A quiet, introspective, deep thinker Andre started out
as a trooper in the Rhodesian Light Infantry commandos and was
hectically engaged in Fire-Force combat operations before leaving
for the SAS. Wounded 12 times, his operational record is
exceptional even by the high standards that existed at the time and
he really emerges as the quintessential SAS officer displaying
extraordinary calmness and audacious cunning in the course of a
host of extremely dangerous operations. Loved by his men Andre,
writes very eruditely about his mental and emotional condition
during the war and reflects very candidly on what he learned and
how war has shaped his life since. Offered a commission in the
British SAS after the conflict he decided to stop soldiering and
entered a seminary whereupon he became a minister. In addition to
Andre's personal story the book also reveals more about the other
men who were distinguished operators in other celebrated SAS
operations. This is the story of soldiers, the hardships, the
battles they fought and the challenges they faced.
