Synopsis
The 1st Battalion, The Rhodesian Light Infantry (RLI), was one of the most innovative and successful counter-insurgency units in modern history, developing and perfecting a range of tactics and operational concepts that have since become standard practise in modern military forces. Formed in 1961 and then re-formed in 1964 as a commando battalion after the dissolution of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, the RLI was an all-white unit that incorporated foreign soldiers from South Africa, The UK, USA, Canada and Europe into its ranks. It was a key weapon in independent Rhodesia's struggle against the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA) and Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) during the bloody Rhodesian Bush War. This comprehensive study explores the unit's dramatic history, revealing the RLI's fearsome airborne and combat capacity, which gave the unit, at times, near total tactical superiority against its opponents., Insights into the daily lives of history's fighting men and women, past and present, detailing their motivation, training, tactics, weaponry and experiences, The Rhodesian Light Infantry was one of the most innovative and successful anti-terrorist units in modern history, developing a range of tactics and operational concepts that have become widespread in modern military forces. Formed in 1961 as a light infantry unit, it evolved into an elite commando and (from 1976) airborne unit Following Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence in November 1965, the RLI, which by now included a substantial foreign element, played a pivotal role in the Rhodesian Bush War, seeking out and destroying the rival guerrilla groups ZANLA and ZIPRA. This book details the recruitment, training, weapons, tactics and experiences of RLI troopers in both Rhodesian 'fireforce' operations and pre-emptive strikes against guerrillas based in Mozambique and Zambia, documenting its development into one of the world's foremost anti-terrorist forces.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged.
I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is.
This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.
