5.0 out of 5 stars WOW a very harrowing book on the experiences of a Merc in the Congo crisis 1960s, July 3 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
A very harrowing book on the accounts of a Rhodesian Merc during the Congo Crisis in the 1960s. The life of the Congo merc is semi glamorized in several movies, the truth is that while well paid for the time, they were not completely paid and subsisted on looting in the remains of the once rich Belgian Congo colony. While there was hard fighting, most of their casualties came from accidents, killing each other and disease. Food was usually low and weapons actually had to be stolen or bought. War is hell and misery is king in the jungle. Well done book.

Probably the most non biased and most informative and detailed book on the subject in english.

I'd trust this book even over the biased Vietnamese and Chinese sources.

With OBs, maps and detailed capapbilities on both sides.

Whoa a great book on the subject, written by a Japanese in the know, lots of stuff that the western books don't have info on especially Japanese intelligence warfare vs. the Chinese and USSR.

Basically the greatest blunder of Japanese intelligence was a gross underestimation of the USA which destroyed them in the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great video history of the gun in all its forms, Jun 10 2011
This review is from: Tales of the Gun (DVD)
Excellent video and history show on the gun.

Not only do you get the history of the guns but also interesting tidbits on the history of warfare itself.

Not for the gun control guys.

Great movie, while parts of its seemed contrived and very coincidental, the movie was well done, acted, great cinematography.

Commentary was informative.

Blu Ray video was excellent. Great action and acting. and no holds barred brutality even by the normal non infected.

While the video on the blu ray is great, the movie itself is so so, great cinematography, stupid plot.
