Neill Ellis flying support missions in Russian Mi-8 helicopters in today’s war in Afghanistan; a parachute battalion strike in Angola; clandestine security operations in Botswana; Portugal’s ill-fated colonial wars in Africa that lasted twice as long as America’s conflicts in Vietnam; hunting big game in an Africa at war and an American hostage with Hizbollah, who was later executed...
All these and more, make up Al Venter’s latest collection of war stories, compiled with the help of some of his friends, many of them recounting personal adventures that have never appeared in print before. Like his other books, all make for compelling reading.
War Stories is a significant and timely collection of military events. The book spans Africa, the Middle East and Asia and is illustrated by more than 100 photographs.
Al J. Venter is known as a war correspondent, documentary filmmaker, and author of more than 40 books. He served as an African and Middle East correspondent for various publications in the stable of Britain’s Jane’s Information Group. In a career that has lasted almost half a century, he has reported on a number of Africa's bloodiest conflicts.
