When Piet Fourie and Johan Jonker of Bush War Books (www.warbooks.co.za) asked if I would be
willing to visit several MOTH shellholes in and around Cape Town, I was happy
to oblige.
Not only was I afforded the opportunity to discuss my
book (Composite Warfare) but I was also able to meet some old friends, make new
friends, and also have the great pleasure of seeing some of my old parachute
sappers from way back when.
Piet and Johan organised talks at three different
shellholes as well as at Bargain Books in Canal Walk.
I would like to express my thanks to the Old Bills,
Deon vd Berg, Mark Bester, and Phillip McLachlan of the Blaauwberg Cuca
Shellhole, the Old Red Barn Shellhole, and the Marshall Smuts Shellhole respectively,
for hosting me.
My thanks also to all of the MOTH’s and their families
and friends who came to support me and who gave me their friendship and
hospitality.
It was fun and interesting to discuss the changes we
are witnessing in not only our own country, but across Africa and the world.
Thanks too must go to Bargain Books in Canal Walk for
allowing their shop to be used at very short notice. It was here that I also
met several Facebook friends and was able to spend a few minutes chatting to
them. Thanks guys for your support as well.
My sincerest thanks to Piet Fourie and Johan Jonker of
Bush War Books for their friendship, organisational skills, and support. It is
indeed a pleasure to work with you both!

Dear Mr Barlow
Merry Christmas i was wondering how would someone contact you privately with a businesses idea that i would like to bring you on it is about African security and that is in your area of expertise and would be a tremendous help to my future organization.
Hi Eli,
