Never Quite a Soldier: A Rhodesian Policeman’s war, 1971-82, by David Lemon, 2006, 1st edition, 264 pages, 84 photos, index. The author served with Rhodesia’s elite British South Africa Police (BSAP) during the Bush War days. The war throughout the country escalated and indiscriminate acts of terror decided him to join the elite Police Support Unit which comprised 12 companies of fighting policemen, most of them black. The Black Boots as they were known, were as smart as the Brigade of Guards on parade, and as fighting men they matched or surpassed any elite fighting unit anywhere in the world.
