In service from 1 February 1961 until 31 October 1980, The Rhodesian Light Infantry (RLI) has had its professionalism, determination, and skill at arms well-documented. This book, however, provides insight into the raw emotion, motivation and effect the involement in war had on a few thousand young people and their families; their joys, dreams and sorrows dramatically prtrayed in what were to be their formative years. While this book contains miitary material, it is first and foremost a record of personal experiences from 108 different contributors who served in or with the RLI from across the rank structure and years of the RLI's existence. -- Paraphrased from Publisher.
