Game Rangers at War
This book is the SIXTH and FINAL book in a series of six comprising the author’s big game hunting memoirs. It covers the period 1964 to 1980 and specifically deals with his and his Bushman trackers’ involvement in the Rhodesian Bush War. He was ‘in’ the war, therefore - during his military call-up periods - from start to finish. Even before war broke out, he and his trackers were using their expert tracking and hunting skills to train Rhodesian Security Force soldiers. For 16 years - on and off - they tracked down, located, and often engaged Robert Mugabe’s so-called Zimbabwe Freedom Fighters - also known as guerrillas. They were called ‘terrorists’ by the Rhodesians. In effect, the author and his trackers became specialist ‘Hunters of Men’. This book offers a range of unique and very special ‘man-hunting’ adventures that are a great rarity in the modern day and age. It also offers a new and enlightened historical perspective of the last 3000 years in south-central Africa that has nowhere else been expressed.
