In its short 19-year history, from 1961 to 1980, the RLI was to carve for itself an enduring legacy as counter-insurgency fighters par excellence. Made up of over 20 different nationalities, the RLI was a ‘foreign legion’ in the truest sense. Having defined the Fireforce concept, that of total airborne envelopment of the enemy, in collaboration with the Rhodesian Air Force and the selous Scouts, the RLI was to develop and refinr this technique with ruthless efficiency. With a tribute from Ian Smith, this handsome volume is dedicated to the Regiment and all those who fell in the fight for Rhodesia.
Includes a 90 minute DVD with previously unseen combat footage (as new).
