Tim Ramsden served his time as a National Serviceman in the SADF's elite Mechanised Battalions and tells his story from his tough training days to the SADF's final confrontation with Cuban armoured forces during the last days of the border war before a peace deal with Angola and Cuba was finalised in New York in December 1988.
The book includes the journey's of three of the author's National Service comrades who were captured and imprisoned in Mozambique. The author also details his trip to the Namibian/Angolan border several years later to visit people who are no longer his enemies. The book includes many photographs that were illegally taken by the author who covertly carried a camera with him wherever he went.
