The Mercenaries

One of my all time favorite novels. "The Mercenaries" is about the guerilla war in Zimbawe (formerly Rhodesia), and covert operations which are organized and launched against the guerilla's, and their jungle camps. Fast paced, with history, and aciton combined with excellent character portraits, Tippette has written an excellent, and powerful novel. Too bad he has never followed up with more novels, in this genre. Tippette seems to have devoted his more recent writting to Western novels. And perhaps one day I shall read one. Nevertheless, despite this novel being currently out of print, I strongly recommend it. And should a copy be found, the reader will not be disappointed. This novel would merit a re-release, for this generation of readers.
