The South African Border War & the South African Defence Force in general is little heard of in the U.S., never mind one of the most renowned units during this conflict. "32 Bn." , written by a former RSM of the unit, goes in depth to describe the men and operations of this forgotten elite unit in a forgotten war. A must read for those interested in the Cold War/Insurgency wars in Africa and South African Military History.
