PUBLICATION OF BOOK: COMPOSITE WARFARE


Firstly, many thanks to everyone who has shown such an interest in my book, ‘Composite Warfare: The conduct of successful ground force operations in Africa’.  


The many emails, LinkedIn, and Twitter messages as well as a few via the blog have all been very encouraging.

It has been a long arduous road—and wait—but the end is finally in sight.

The book (544 pages and several years of writing) has been through the final page proofing and cover design phases and I was told this morning (18 August 2016) that if all goes according to plan, the book will be available by end-September/early-October 2016.

I trust the book will prove educational to soldiers, scholars and military history enthusiasts across Africa and the world.

  1. Eeben,

    I intend to purchase two copies: One for me and another which I will send to the Africa bureau within State Department--not that they will read it.

  2. Herbert, As soon as they see my name on it, it will probably be shredded and then burned.

  3. I've been waiting so long... So glad it's almost ready. A friend of mine wondered if the powers that be didn't want it to be read by the public.
