The story of the controversial airborne strike on Cassinga Angola in 1978

An extract from the preface

I have written this book, reluctantly, not just to put the record straight, but to serve as a counter point to so many other books written by a body of biased commentators who where not there. Included amongst these are so many so called military experts and military historians, who also were not there but who did not even have the integrity to consult with me in depth, the one who actually commanded, at the sharp end, this controversial parachute assault.
