'Koevoet! is an intense and unique account of the little-understood Southern African bushwar, written by American Jim Hooper. He is the first journalist ever to have been granted unrestricted access to the controversial and predominantly black South West African Police Counterinsurgency Unit - the notorious Koevoet.
The four months Hooper spent on operations with Koevoet coincided with one of the most determined and bloody infiltrations by SWAPO into SWA/Namibia in recent years.
This moving and horrifying account of. the vicious semi-secret bushwar brings a deeply personal insight into an exceptional unit and their operations, never before observed by an outsider.' - editor's note
