When the Rhodesian Army recruited Andre Dennison in 1975, it could not have chosen better. It secured the services of a hardened veteran of four of the minor wars of the 1950s and 1960s. Dennison had been a paratrooper, a member of the SAS, a company commander and a training officer. He was the most appropriate choice as the first Commanding Officer of "A" Company, 2 RAR. He quickly acquired the reputation of being one of the most forceful of the Fire Force commanders. He kept a meticulous record of the daily life of his "A" Company, writing up his war diaries every night and eventually, when convalescing from wounds, transcribing them into a single volume. He wrote in the dry, humorous style of the professional soldier, sparing little pity for the enemy while displaying deep affection and admiration for his men and their exploits. The book provides a tremendous insight into the life of a professional infantry Company during the Rhodesia bush war of the 1970's.
