Darwin Days Book:
For  two years I worked on a book about the Mount Darwin and Centenary East farming areas. With the help of Nick Russell and a multitude of those that used to populate this area as farmers, civil servants or in the security forces, we have now brought this book to print. This is an effort to tell the story of an incredible area of the country formerly known as Rhodesia. This book does not promise to be the definitive work about Mount Darwin, there are others who will write the full history one day, but it does tell the personal stories of those that lived there. Please consider purchasing a copy from our online store. This is a very limited edition book with a foreword by the Hon. Ian Douglas Smith and a story by former Selous Scouts commander Ron Reid-Daly. The price of this book includes airmail shipping to anywhere in the world. Due to US Postal rate changes there is no longer any surface mail-SORRY.

Masodja MASODJA (two copies only)
The history of the Rhodesian African Rifles and its forerunner the Rhodesia Native Regiment, By Alex Binda
Commissioned and compiled by Brigadier David Heppenstall and the RAR Regimental Association (UK). Originally formed as The Rhodesia Native Regiment during World War I, this fine regiment first saw action in East Africa, pitted against the wily von Lettow-Vorbeck and his army of German askaris. Disbanded and later re-formed, the regiment was to distinguish itself during World War II in the North Africa and Burma campaigns. Using the counter-insurgency experience gleaned from the Malayan Campaign of the 1950s, the RAR provided the front-line troops in the battle for Rhodesia in the country’s bitter civil war of the 1960s and 1970s.
This is an excellent addition to any Rhodesian collection. Comes with the never-previously released DVD featuring Frontline-Rhodesia by Richard Cecil and Nick Downie. This price includes shipping to anywhere in the USA. For shipping outside of the USA please contact me at rhodesia@rhodesia.org

Price: £50.00 plus £10.00 for shipping

The Saints (one copy left-includes the official DVD)
We’ve seen the stories of the more ‘glamorous’ Selous Scouts, the SAS and the Rhodesian Air Force, but very little about the RLI, often underrated, but arguably one of the most effective counter-insurgency units of all time. This was the unit that brought the ‘Fireforce’ concept to the world’s attention—the devastatingly ruthless airborne envelopment and annihilation of a guerrilla enemy. Dubbed “The Killing Machine” by Charles D. Melson, chief historian of the US Marine Corps, the RLI was a veritable ‘foreign legion’ with over 20 diverse nationalities serving in her ranks.
The RLI, a truly international airborne battalion, comprised of over 20 nationalities, fought the bitter Zimbabwean ‘bush war’ for 15 years, against the overwhelming tide of communist-trained guerrillas. Kill rates don’t win wars, but during its brief 19-year history, it is estimated that the RLI accounted for between 12,000 and 15,000 enemy guerrillas, for the loss of 135 men. RLI soldiers were recipients of four Silver Crosses and 42 Bronze Crosses of Rhodesia. An RLI trooper holds the world record for operational parachute descents – a staggering 73 operational jumps – most under 500 feet!
A glossy coffee-table, pictorial format with hundreds of colour photos, maps, rolls, honours and awards. It is not intended as a definitive history but, with more of a classic ‘scrapbook’ feel, the presentation attempts to capture the essence of this fine unit—what it was like to be a troopie, one of the ‘ouens’. We have accessed a host of unique, previously unpublished photos and illustrative material and many former RLI members have embraced the project, generously contributing photos, memorabilia and anecdotes. Ian Smith has written his tribute in the front and the foreword is by the last CO, Lieutenant-Colonel Charlie Aust.
This book includes an 90 minutes DVD called "The Saints", produced by Msasa Enterprises and Harmon Cusack, featuring incredible footage of the RLI and a good portion of it previously unseen. This price listed includes shipping within the USA. The price is markedly lower than other USA shipped copies and represents little to no mark up for us-this is a service to our Rhodesian friends.
