A young white Rhodesian conscript describes his experiences serving in the security forces during the Rhodesian Bush War in the late 1970s. He recounts combat operations, counterinsurgency patrols, and daily life as a soldier fighting against nationalist guerrilla forces. The narrative explores the physical and psychological toll of warfare, the camaraderie amongst troops, and the gradual realisation of fighting for a dying cause as Rhodesia collapsed.
