A Boot goes to War, June 12, 2007
This review is from: At Thy Call We Did Not Falter (Paperback)
I read this book, as part of my own research project into the South African Border War. It follows the author from home to basic to war. Pretty simple. Well written, and captures the fear of someone so young thrust into circumstances beyond their control. If you want to know what combat is like, The feelings anyway, buy and read this great book. It captures the stark unreality of combat very well. I know. But thats a different story. Highly recommended.

Reality is bitter!, February 28, 2008
This review is from: At Thy Call We Did Not Falter (Paperback)
A real book if you wanna know how is war from a conscript's view...and it covers both emotional and statistic matters of all the battles...some parts of it are from a soldier's diary and the other parts are written by that same soldier after 10,15 years...
