Genre: Non-fiction /
South African War History
Taking place in
South-West Africa, now Namibia, while fighting the SWAPO and the Communists, we
read about the authors experience and a medical specialist on the war
front. First as a Psychiatrist in
Oshakati, where he treats everyone from the camp commander’s wife, to a young
soldier that appears to be suffering from shell shock. Then as the GP in Tsandi, where he treats
just about every imaginable ailment.
This book is well
written and rather graphic. It is an
enthralling read, bringing the horror of war within reach of those who never
have, and hopefully never will experience it first-hand.
