Book excerpt: Personal accounts of paratroopers in combat situations in South Africa's history. In order to obtain a balanced and fair account, the author interviewed paratroopers of all races. Parabat! is also a study of how the exploits of the South African airborne family are seen by the men on the ground. The experiences have been set down exactly as related to the author, with no changes or apologies -- the swearing, the torture, the emotions, the turmoil, the killings and the humor. These are the accounts of the paratrooper family from the war in Angola in the 80s to the various township wars in the 90s, as well as South Africa's intervention in Lesotho in 1998.

Download or read book Virgil Aeneid 4 1 299 written by Ingo Gildenhard and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and tragedy dominate book four of Virgil's most powerful work, building on the violent emotions invoked by the storms, battles, warring gods, and monster-plagued wanderings of the epic's opening. Destined to be the founder of Roman culture, Aeneas, nudged by the gods, decides to leave his beloved Dido, causing her suicide in pursuit of his historical destiny. A dark plot, in which erotic passion culminates in sex, and sex leads to tragedy and death in the human realm, unfolds within the larger horizon of a supernatural sphere, dominated by power-conscious divinities. Dido is Aeneas' most significant other, and in their encounter Virgil explores timeless themes of love and loyalty, fate and fortune, the justice of the gods, imperial ambition and its victims, and ethnic differences. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, study questions, a commentary, and interpretative essays. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Ingo Gildenhard's incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both A2 and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Virgil's poetry and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought.
Download or read book Troepie From Call Up to Camps written by Cameron Blake and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2010-12-08 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over half a million white South African males conscripted before 1994, National Service was a compulsory, demanding and intense experience that had a powerful impact on them. This book is a compilation of recollections by more than forty former conscripts about their time in the South African Defence Force. The chapters take you through the sequence of a National Serviceman’s career: receiving call-up papers, klaaring in, Basics, keuring, bush phase, second-phase training, general service, the Border, Angola, the townships, klaaring out and camps. Taking in the humour and the hardship, these accounts provide a variety of perspectives on inspections, drill, guard duty, Border patrols, contact, and everyday life in the SADF. Also included are official documents such as call-up papers, extracts from a Basic Training manual, and a clearing-out certificate. Appendices give additional information on the history of National Service, the context of the Border War and other matters. Troepie: From Call-up to Camps is a must-read for everyone who went through National Service or who knows someone who did. It is a vivid and fascinating record of what conscripts actually experienced.
Download or read book From Soldier to Civvy written by Cameron Blake and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2010-12-08 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Service had a powerful immediate effect on the men who served in the SADF, immersing them in an unfamiliar military world. But its impact reached beyond them - to the families and loved ones at home - and it has left its mark decades after the conscripts re-entered civvy street. From Soldier to Civvy explores National Service from a number of different angles. It contains in-depth accounts from a diverse selection of former conscripts - a Recce, a dog handler, a mortarist, a Parabat, a gunner, a loadmaster, a military policeman and a marine - who take you through their entire military careers and provide detailed insider’s information on each role. A number of frank and humorous letters home from a soldier to his fiancée are also included, and there are interviews with women - mothers, sisters, wives and girlfriends - who talk about how National Service affected them and their men. And, finally, former soldiers look back at their time in the army and reveal the powerful and lasting effects it has had on them and how they view it from the perspective of the present. From Soldier to Civvy provides valuable new insights into National Service and its far-reaching consequences. It will entertain, enlighten and challenge readers to reconsider this crucial period of our history.
Download or read book Bush Wars written by Ambush Alley Ambush Alley Games and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its many tribal, political, religious, and cultural divisions, Africa has long been a continent at war – both with itself and with others. For much of the 20th century, there has been a near-constant state of military unrest, from Cold War proxy wars with Soviet and Western powers supporting their African allies in live-fire incarnations of this ideological struggle, and revolutions against established regimes, to foreign interventions under the banners of peacekeeping and mercenary operations alike. Bush Wars, the latest Force on Force companion, brings this hotbed of unrest to the wargaming table with scenarios, orders of battle and background information.

Download or read book Zulu Zulu Foxtrot written by Arn Durand and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Both my guns are jammed. I’m dead meat, a sitting duck. All the insurgent has to do is pull the trigger of his RPG-7 rocket launcher. My heart surges, pumping pure adrenalin through my body and my mind.’ Arn Durand was a member of Koevoet, the most deadly fighting force involved in the Border War. Their task was to seek and destroy SWAPO PLAN insurgents. Zulu Zulu Foxtrot is an explosive account of Durand’s time with Koevoet during the mid-1980s, during which he went deeper into Angola than before. The book takes the reader on patrols through the bush and into ambushes and contacts with the enemy, which are described in nerve-shattering detail. Written in the same gripping, novelistic style as Durand’s previous book, Zulu Zulu Foxtrot recreates the experience of being in the heat of battle and delves more deeply into the psyche of the modern warrior.
