Fireforce is the compelling, brutal account of Chris Cocks' service in 3 Commando, the Rhodesian Light Infantry, during Zimbabwe's bitter civil war of the 1970s—a conflict that came to be known simply as "the bush war." The sequel, Out of Action, chronicles the author's final 16 months of combat as a stick leader in the Police Anti-Terrorist Unit, as well as his painful adjustment to life as a civilian in the embryonic state of Zimbabwe.
Chris Cocks served with the Rhodesian Light Infantry from 1976-1979 in continuous combat situations. He drifted for the next 20 years before becoming a full-time writer and publisher in Johannesburg.
