My Friend the Mercenary"In a fly-blown bar in West Africa, war reporter James Brabazon found himself discussing military plans to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea with one of Africa's most notorious mercenaries, Nick du Toit. The Byzantine plot, its farcical execution and, ultimately, its tragic consequences led to Mark Thatcher, Simon Mann and a host of celebrated guns for hire falling victim to their own avaricious egos, Machiavellian scheming, and perverse double-crosses. Due to a twist of fate James Brabazon remains free to tell the story" -- from publisher description. |
