Cry Havoc is the memoir of Simon Mann, the former SAS officer and mercenary at the centre of the 2004 attempted coup against President Obiang of Equatorial Guinea, the affair that became known as the Wonga Coup. First published in hardback in the United Kingdom by John Blake Publishing in 2011, this is the South African trade paperback edition published the same year by Jonathan Ball Publishers, Jeppestown, and printed by CTP Printers, Cape Town.

Mann tells the story from his early army career through the private military operations in Angola and Sierra Leone, the planning of the Equatorial Guinea operation, and his arrest at Harare airport in March 2004 with an aircraft full of weapons and men. Cry Havoc describes his years in prison in Zimbabwe and in Malabo’s notorious Black Beach prison, his trial, and his eventual pardon and release in 2009.
