When the Going Was Rough , a Rhodesian Story |
MacBruce , James |
Femina Publishers. Pretoria. First. 1983. The book
describes how a few Rhodesians in Umtali and its districts stood up
to enemy attack ,which it received as the frontline city.It shows how
they kept up their courage enabling them to even keep Welfare organisations
running , over and above life's everyday requirements. The strength
and unity of the people was honoured by the award of a Meritorious Conduct
Medal in 1979. There is a reprint of the Citation for this award presented
by the acting president of Rhodesia with an accompanying black and white
photograph of him and the mayor. The book delivers a message not to
be ignored of how people excel in adversity and how people become more
important than material goods in such times. |

Selous Scouts , Top Secret War |
Stiff , Peter |
"Galago. Cape Town. 1982 Hardcover. 432pp.
This is the story as told by Lt.Col. Ron Reid Daly. It is was the ""Top Secret War"" as it is referred to in the book .Its formation and aim was to eliminate ZANLA and ZIPRA terrorists inside and outside Rhodesia. The first of only two Grand Crosses of valour ever awarded was awarded to the Regiment as well as numerous others totalling 85 awards. ""...it is indisputable that the activities of the Selous Scouts have been a major , if not the most important single factor , in Security Forces successes against terrorists..."" (from citation of award to Lt.Col Ron Reid Daly of the CLM) The book contains numerous colour and black & white photographs of men in action including a fascinating one on page 193 of Operation Long John , a revived Boer War idea for reconnaissance into Mozambique , using pedal-power on existing railway lines. This failed as the lines were poorly ballasted." |

Selous Scouts , Top Secret War |
Stiff , Peter |
"Galago. Cape Town. 1982 Hardcover. 432pp. This is the story as told by Lt.Col. Ron Reid Daly. Signed by Author and by Lt.Col. Ron Reid Daly It is was the ""Top Secret War"" as it is referred
to in the book .Its formation and aim was to eliminate ZANLA and ZIPRA
terrorists inside and outside Rhodesia. The first of only two Grand
Crosses of valour ever awarded was awarded to the Regiment as well
as numerous others totalling 85 awards. ""...it is indisputable
that the activities of the Selous Scouts have been a major , if not
the most important single factor , in Security Forces successes against
terrorists..."" (from citation of award to Lt.Col Ron Reid
Daly of the CLM) The book contains numerous colour and black &
white photographs of men in action including a fascinating one on
page 193 of Operation Long John , a revived Boer War idea for reconnaissance
into Mozambique , using pedal-power on existing railway lines. This
failed as the lines were poorly ballasted." |
