Description:
Nineteen with a bullet : a South African paratrooper in Angola is a fast-moving, action-packed account of Granger Korff's two years service during 1980/81 with 1 Parachute Battalion at the height of the South African "bush war" in South West Africa (Namibia) and Angola. Apart from the "standard" counter-insurgency activities of Fireforce operations, ambushing and patrols, to contact and destroy SWAPO guerrillas, he was involved in several massive South African Defence Force (SADF) conventional cross-border operations, such as Protea, Daisy and Carnation, into Angola to take on FAPLA (Angolan MPLA troops) and their Cuban and Soviet allies.
