A very good copy of the third impression. "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," [front flap]. 236pp total, including six page Glossary; original grey boards very good, with edge wear (more bottom edge), no inscriptions, page edges yellow with age, text and binding very good. Dust-jacket very good: slight creasing and chipping to edges, tiny patches of loss and small tears to corners and head of spine; jacket now protected with a Brodart plastic sleeve.
