Out of action is the reworked and updated edition of Survival
Course, the sequel to the best-selling Fireforce - one man's war in
the Rhodesian Light Infantry. Part 1, 'War', chronicles Chris
Cocks's final 16 months of combat in the Rhodesian bush war, as a
stick leader in PATU, the Police Ant-Terrorist Unit. It is a time
of unbelievable cruelty as the part-time white reservists battle
overwhelming odds, without air support and...without a future. Part
2, 'Peace', recounts the author's painful adjustment to life as a
civilian - a fifteen-year odyssey in the embryonic state of
Zimbabwe. It is an intensely personal journey in which the author
pulls no punches as he describes his clumsy attempts to come to
terms with a) the new dispensation of black Africa and b) himself.
It is a cri de couer, the story of a young man, brutalized by war,
who seeks escape in alcohol and drugs, and who, in the process,
causes immeasurable pain and suffering to those around him. These
too are the casualties of war.
