Beneath the Visiting Moon

[504PIR]

Just finished "Beneath the Visiting Moon" by Jim Hooper (got it from Amazon). If you are interested in the "Bush Wars" in Southern Africa, this is a good one. Story is one American jornalist who was able to "embed" himself in "Koevoet" a South West African Police COIN unit fighting against SWAPO in Nambia in the 80's.

I wish he went into more operational detail as opposed to the human interest side. But still a interesting book about a little know-known unit in brutal little war that didn't get much attention.

I worked with a Koevoet vet in 04 and he had some interesting stories and was very squared away. The other SA vet also held him and Koevoet in high regard.
