Road to Kalamata : A Congo Mercenary's Personal Memoir


Description

The Road to Kalamata is the real-life adventure story the 4 Commando team of mercenary soldiers, as told by their leader, Col. 'Mad' Mike Hoare. At the close of 1960, the newly formed independent state of Katanga in central Africa recruited Hoare and his team to suppress a rebellion by the Baluba, a fierce tribe of warriors rumoured to be cannibals and known to torture and dismember any enemy soldiers unlucky enough to be captured. The events recounted in this book occurred in the Congo during the Katanga campaign of 1961. With insight that only an officer with extensive battlefield experience can bring to this subject, Colonel Hoare chronicles the metamorphosis of 4 Commando from a loose assembly of individuals into a highly organized fighting unit, while also taking the reader inside the minds and hearts of men who sell their military skills for money. What emerges is a compelling and complex portrait of genuine adventurers,"a breed of men which," writes Hoare, "has almost vanished from the face of the earth."
