War stories : up close and personal in third world conflicts

"Compiled here is a collection of war stories, many of them recounting personal adventures that have never appeared in print before. From a parachute battalion strike in Angola, to clandestine security operations in Botswana, from Portugal's ill-fated colonial wars in Africa that lasted twice as long as America's conflicts in Vietnam to hunting big game in an Africa at war, and an American hostage with Hizbollah, who was later executed, this book spans Africa, the Middle East and Asia and is illustrated by more than 100 photographs."
