SHADOWS OF A FORGOTTEN PAST: To the Edge with the Rhodesian SAS and Selous Scouts
by Paul French
Just finished "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson. First third was pure fun and educative too, second part dissapointment by author and his companion giving up, and third part even bigger...
Thanks for a link!
Thanks for a good read tip JMA. Prices are insane, however I will try to ask around to borrow the book.
If you ask US Army LRS what type of missions they do in Afghanistan, they will give you answer - recce. Overt recce in Hummwees, more like kind of demonstrative overwatch. Only very few units dare to...
Unfortunately the only way how to get soldiers moving again is to dump body armour on missions which does not require body armour - or where is it downright counterproductive (recce). But it seems to...

That Discovery show "Lone Target" with Joel Lambert is really lame for anyone who takes this stuff seriously. Itīs funny show for civilian crowd. But I really liked the camera and scenery, especially...
"Siberian Education", Nicolai Lilin... probably strongly exaggerated, but relaxing read
