Unapologetic, unassuming and forthright, the combat exploits of
Executive Outcomes (EO) in Angola and Sierra Leone are recounted
for the first time by a battlefield commander who was physically on
the ground during all their major combat operations. From fighting
UNITA for the critical oil installations and diamond fields of
Angola to the offensive against the RUF in Sierra Leone to capture
the Kono diamond fields and the palace coup which ousted Captain
Valentine Strasser, van Heerden was at the forefront. He tells of
the tragedy of child soldiers, illegal diamond mining and the curse
of government soldiers who turn on their own people; he tells of
RUF atrocities, the harrowing attempt to rescue a downed EO pilot
and the poignant efforts to recover the remains of EO soldiers
killed in action. Coupled with van Heerden's gripping expose,
hitherto unpublished photographs, order of battle charts and battle
maps offer unprecedented access to the major actions as they took
place on the ground during the heydays of EO.
