From the Dangerous Jungles of Rhodesia to the Bloody Battlefields of COIN
The Rhodesian Light Infantry was formed in 1961 as a counter-insurgency force during the Rhodesian Bush War. Composed of both white and black Rhodesians, the RLI quickly gained a reputation for their skill, bravery, and unwavering loyalty. Reynolds draws upon firsthand accounts from veterans and extensive research to paint a vivid picture of the RLI's covert operations, daring raids, and intense firefights.
The Selous Scouts, a specialized unit within the RLI, were renowned for their unparalleled jungle warfare expertise. Their innovative tactics, including the use of camouflage and deception, were instrumental in countering the guerrilla forces of Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU). Reynolds unveils the fascinating history of the Selous Scouts, from their inception to their controversial disbandment.
