Like so many other ordinary troopies, he was thrown into the horror, deprivation and banality of war. He recounts his loss of innocence in Angola, the subsequent 'camps' and his journey towards confronting his post-traumatic stress disorder. Told with disarming honesty and humour, he gives voice to a generation of white South African men forced into a grisly, life-defining experience."-- $c Back cover 600 10 $a McFarlane, Norman 648 7 $a 1900-2002 $2 fast 650 0 $a Soldiers $z South Africa $v Biography. 650 0 $a Undercover operations $x Wars $z South Africa. 650 7 $a Soldiers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01125233 651 0 $a Angola $x History $y Civil War, 1975-2002. 651 0 $a South Africa $x History, Military $y 20th century. 651 7 $a Angola. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208401 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Military history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411630 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024314.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45586DE44EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
