Pamwe Chete - The Legend of the Selous Scouts

A very good copy of this scarce history of the Selous Scouts. The first edition in hardcover.

"Formed in 1973 by the author, Lt.-Col. Ron Reid-Daly, as the Rhodesian Bush War intensified, the Selous Scouts Regiment very soon became one of Africa's and for that matter, the world's, foremost and ruthless proponents of pseudo operations in guerilla counter-insurgency warfare. During its short seven-year existence up to Zimbabwe's independence in 1980, this regiment was to write, with honour, its name into the annals of military history, with its brilliant modus operandi."

The book consists of eleven parts, Glossary, four Appendices, and Index. Appendix 1- Roll of Honour; 2- Wings Nominal Role; 3- Honours and Awards; 4- Citations.

593pp. plus 6 pages of adverts. Maps and Charts interspersed in the text. Dust jacket has a tear to top near spine.
