Some parts of this took me back so completely that I could even smell the fear, sweat, diesel and guns. Adrenaline levels depleted- I'll leave it at that

Can toit or jim help me out?

I was once married to a person who featured in this book. Unfortunatly he is no longer with us, but I would do anything to try and get hold of a copy of Koevert. He was very proud to have been mentioned and pictured in such a groundbreaking, informative book and I have tried time and again to get hold of a copy. If anyone can help me I would be very grateful to have such a personal reminder of someone who made a huge impact on my life, and whom I think of everyday.

Koevoet

"'Contact! ...the Casspir's engine bellowed ...our car was veering hard left ..a blur of hands grabbing for wepons and the arrythmic ripple of shh-klacks as blots came back and fell on chambered rounds ...I saw the ground erupting zipper-like under the impact of the .50 calibre bullets racing towards the watering hole, tree limbs splintering ...Jim was yelling 'under the bush, under ther bush!' ..I realised the firing had stopped, replaced by the hard gasping laughter and high-pitched gigles of adrenalin-stoked exitement. "'The bodies are over here,'..."When American journalist Jim Hooper, was first given permission to accompany Koevoet on operations in the bushwar, nothing had prepared him for the vicous guerilla war raging in the dence bush of northern S.W.A/Namibia and Angola, for the bloody tactics used by both sides, for seeing new-found friends die next to him.Courage, despiration, comradeship, exhilaration, horror,all are here in one riveting package, told in eminetnly readable style by a master storyteller.
