During that long hot summer of 1964, Ivan Smith, a Mercenary
volunteering the Arm'ee Nationale congolais, came to witness and
understand fear, the law of the jungle and the lust for killing
that permeates Africa. A member of 'Mad Mike' Hoare's 5 Commando
group, he and his companions were nominally soliders but there was
little in the way of campaigns, tactics and discipline. Of
conventional warfare there was none. Loyalty to country or unit did
not exist and fear of death was the only commander. Many more
mercenaries died from an accidental discharge, in a drunken
shoot-out or from a bullet in the back than were ever killed in
action by Simba rebels. Nearly half a century later, Ivan Smith
re-lives the nightmare that was the Congo.
