Good Evening All,
Im looking for a good read and was thinking of the above by Colonel Mike Hoare, but also noticed he wrote a book entitled The Road To Kalamata. Does anyone have any info on these 2 books, and can recommend one over the other?
Thanks.

What does this have to do with AR General Discussions?

I read Col. Hoare's account of 5 Commando in the Congo back when I was in highschool.

Are his books back in print?

If you haven't read them but are interested in the African Colonial Wars and Bush Wars, then I'd definitely pick them up.

It all fell apart for him when he decided to try to take the Seychelles.
