FIREFORCE - One Man's War In The Rhodesian Light Infantry - Signed by Chris Cocks
The Horror of Guerrilla Warefare in Africa. Fireforce is the compelling, brutal but true account of Chris Cocks’ service in 3 Commando, The Rhodesian Light Infantry, during the bush war.
Serving in 3 Commando’s elite ranks, other than born Rhodesians were Englishmen, Irishmen, Scots, Welshmen, Americans, Norwegians, South Africans, Portuguese, Brazilians, Australians, New Zealanders, West Germans and Canadians, plus a host of other nationalities. It was the closest parallel to the French Foreign Legion in recent times.
Chris Cocks joined the RLI as a National Serviceman in 1976 for 12 months at the age of 18, then signed on as a regular for three years. He soon became a stick leader and at times, after promotion to lance corporal, acted as Troop Commander. His upbringing had been a sheltered one and he knew little of life... but he was due for a radical change.
