Acerca de esta escucha

It is difficult to find another soldier's story to equal Captain Darrell Watt's in terms of time spent on the field of battle and challenges faced. Even by the lofty standards of the SAS and Special Forces, one has to look far to find anyone who can match his record of resilience and valor in the face of such daunting odds and with resources so paltry.

In the fight, he showed himself to be a military maestro. A bush-lore genius, blessed with uncanny instincts and an unbridled determination to close with the enemy, he had no peers as a combat-tracker (and there was plenty of competition). But the Rhodesian theater was a fluid and volatile one in which he performed in almost every imaginable fighting role.

After 12 years in the cauldron of war, his cause slipped from beneath him, and Rhodesia gave way to Zimbabwe. When the guns went quiet, Watt had won all his battles but lost the war. In this fascinating biography, we learn that in his twilight years, he is now concerned with saving wildlife on a continent where they are in continued danger and devoting himself to both the fauna and African people he cares so deeply about.

This is a most remarkable tale of such casual heroism that very few people know about.

Its a tragic precursor of outcomes whenever the globalist agenda runs its course.

I wish I had read this book 30 years ago.

Thank you Hannes Wessels

This was a very compelling book about some hard fighting that crossed borders from Rhodesia to Zambia and Mozambique. A great overview of the fighting and it points out the fact the people who were fighting under Robert Mugabe were targeting civilian farmers and killing them. The book points out the fact that there is the evil you know, and the evil you don't know.

Untold story of the war in Rhodesia

This is a great account of the SAS defense of Rhodesia and how the entire world conspired against them to prop up the communists attacking them. It recounts several atrocities that we can now see as precursors to the current attacks on white South African farmers. This happened both in Rhodesia and Mozambique and in both situations in resulted in a worse situation for both Whites and Blacks. Yet here we are again watching the Leftist international world trying to support the same thing for the third time in South Africa, which is already failing miserably.

Fascinating and critical read for understanding the current South Africa White Genocide.

Rhodesia adds its name to the list of countries betrayed by western democracies. A tragedy in itself and another example of nation building gone wrong.

A memoir of a war that was never reported in the U. S.

An excellent book about what is probably the biggest act of treachery by western powers in 20th century. What the US and Britain did to the Rhodesian people was criminal, and we should all be ashamed.

Excellent book

I really wish the reader could pronounce the local languages correctly - Afrikaans names, places etc.

Great to finally learn some truths

Great book but the title sounds like gay porn. They should have just called it "A Bunch Of Bad MF's" lol. Great book, I plan to listen to it again soon.

Hardcore

Gripping detail, sufficient historical narrative. Great picture of what soldiers can win battles while politicians (including some generals) lose wars.

When soldier win but politicians lose.

What a story! The book is not for the lighthearted. Tells the story from the perspective of the Rhodesian SAS, which some may find objectionable philosophically, and in deed. However, it also reveals the other side of the events-- the complicity of neighbors, the role of South Africa, Cuba, the Soviet Union and the UK/US/UN. Like the sinking of the Titanic we know the ending, but with a continuing vengeful twist not envisioned by the world players.

As the book progressed I grew accustomed to the narrator's slow reading and lack of inflection.

Fantastic Story- Title says it all... Hard Men

The story here is absolutely heart breaking, and breathtaking. So sad that the world turned their back on Rhodesia when she needed her the most.
Story is a bit hard to follow with all the names and locations and narrator is a little monotonous at times but overall it is superb!

Wow!! Heart wrenching story of Rhodesia
