A Colonial War in Southern Africa spinning out of control.
Set in the country now called Zimbabwe, the Bush War has escalated into a desperate fight for survival. In a bid to stem the tide of insurgents flooding into the country, the war has spilt over into neighbouring Mozambique. External raids by special forces, the Selous Scouts and the Rhodesian Light Infantry, are required to hunt down the leaders of the liberation movement. These are the 'Steely-eyed killers', hopelessly outnumbered, jumping from ancient Dakotas and rugged Alouette III helicopters.
This story follows the harrowing, day-in-day-out combat and relentless pressure put on the combatants. Cold War rivalry, political intrigue and spies in high places put the men on the ground, on both sides of the conflict, in mortal danger. They not only have to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, they also have to endure the mistakes, bigotry and self-interest of their leaders. The reader will smell the cordite and hear the 'crack and thump' of bullets overhead.
