Episode 7: “The Bush War in Rhodesia” by Dennis Croukamp

Hank and Bindu take a deep dive into a lost classic of the Rhodesian Bush War, written by Rhodesian Light Infantry and Selous Scout veteran Dennis Croukamp. Croukamp served through almost the entirety of the Rhodesian Bush War, from 1965-1979. He watched the conflict grow and expand to new theatres of war, many of which he participated in. His most famous exploit was an epic six-day journey of survival in the jungle, alone and behind enemy lines. We cover all this and more in this episode about a truly battle hardened soldier and his rare and very comprehensive memoir of the Rhodesian Bush War.
