During its short seven-year existence up to Zimbabwe's independence in 1980, this regiment was to write, with honour, its name into the annals of military history, with its brilliant modus operandi."This book is a definitive account of the Selous Scouts, a multiracial unit, who were responsible for over 68% of guerilla casualties.
