It is not often that we get TWO superb offerings from Galago Publishing at the same time......as is the case here. Jake Harper-Ronald wanted to be a soldier from childhood. In 1966 his ambition was fulfilled when he was conscripted as a National Serviceman into the Royal Rhodesia Regiment. He later moved to the U.K. to the Paras. The Book is named for Sunday the 30th of January 1972 when he was deployed as the official photographer for 1-Para in Londonderry to combat an IRA inspired 'Peace' march. Elements in the crowd fired on the Paras who returned fire killing 13 marchers. That day lives on in infamy as "Bloody Sunday".
"Quartermaster's Comment":- And that is just the beginning. What follows is a wealth of modern history. The S.A.S. and Selous Scouts follow. Unlike most books which stop at the end of the Rhodesian conflict Jake went on to serve with M I 6 to run militia's to combat Renamo guerrillas in Mozambique. He worked with 'Private' Security in Iraq and sadly died of cancer aged only 59 on the 5th of August 2007.This book is a MUST and a very 'Up-to-Date' report on recent history.
