Border-Line Insanity by Tim Ramsden
A National Serviceman's Story. We go back to 1984 to get the inside track on South Africa's Border War.
"Border-Line Insanity" offers the reader an insight into the life and times of a conscripted white soldier in the ranks of the South African Army during the Border War fought in South West Africa/Namibia and Angola.
"Quartermaster's Comment":- Michael Kaplan tells me that this one is one of the best reads on the 'Border War' that he has come across. In 352 Pages Tim Ramsden not only paints a picture in words but he broke the rules and carried a camera. We therefore have a wealth of pictures which other books have not been able to record. Thus we have what is probably the best published photographic record of South African National Service on offer. Published by Galago Publishing, who know their job. For those who had anything to do with those times.....this is a 'Must Buy'.
OF MOST IMPORTANCE TO THE HISTORIAN we have the S.A.D.F's Roll of Honour covering those who died between 1962 and 1994 but also included is the Roll of Members of the S.A.D.F. who were awarded the Honoris Crux for Bravery. |
