Col. Jan Breytenbach commanded the famous, or infamous, 32 Battalion which campaigned so effectively in Angola and Namibia during the Bush War. The publishers were a small firm who only produced a limited print run of this book. It is a revealing and honest look at the war and has become a sought after account of the fighting between South African forces on the one side and Angolans and Cubans on the other, north of the "cutline".
