"Undoubtedly one of the most, if not the most, effective counter-insurgency units in the history of warfare" ~Lt-Col Robert Brown, Soldier of Fortune

"Africa@War is a ground-breaking series concept, studying Africa’s conflicts and military players in an informative and entertaining manner, examining some of the lesser-known campaigns and shedding new light on some of the better-known operations ...

They are recommended as professional military education references." ~Charles D. Melson, Chief Historian, U.S. Marine Corps

"Each of the books in this series is a well-documented and researched synopsis of the events that they are focused upon. They layouts and presentation are logical and of a very high quality ... As an introduction to this field of operation, this series is outstanding. A definite asset for those wishing to improve their knowledge and understanding of the development of successful, multi-faceted doctrine in the fight against insurgent/assymetric war." ~Major Chris Buckham, Royal Canadian Air Force

" This was a fascinating read on a subject that is less known in history and the modeling world. I encourage you to get a copy and see the inspiration it contains."
