The Tempered Sword (signed)

 Operation Savannah encompassed and touched the whole country, from the Recce Operators who were instrumental in training the rag-tag FNLA soldiers, the Paratroopers, the Armour guys in their noddy cars, the Infantry and logistics personnel doing their National Service, to the CF regiments contributing "border camps" and a host of ancillary arms, both on the border and back in the "states"!

Colonel Breytenbach tell his  story in his no-nonsense direct style, punctuated by his often wicked sense of humour, interspersed with the compassion and humility of one of SA's greatest warriors of our time.

The Tempered Sword is illustrated with a generous selection of black and white photographs, and for once, accurate and detailed campaign and battle maps to satisfy the most ardent student of latter day Bush War history
