Three Sips of Gin
Dominating the Rhodesian Insurgency
In his memoir 'Three Sips of Gin' Tim gives a fascinating insight into the decadent lifestyle that prevailed in East Africa during his childhood. He takes us from the realm of a remote boarding school in Africa to his life as a young officer in the Rhodesian Army. We follow Tim from the exclusivity, glamor and frivolity of the officers' mess into the silence of the shadows with Rhodesia's famed Selous Scouts, sharing in the lighter, yet sometimes painful moments of an insurgency fought in the stark and unforgiving African bush. Later, with Tim having left the Army, we stumble with him through the intrigues, excesses and scandals of the boardroom of a large multi-national company in South Africa. THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE FROM AMAZON WORLDWIDE. IT IS ALO AVAILABLE FROM CASEMATE IN THE UNITED STATES, FROM HELION PRESS IN UK AND EUROPE, AND FROM PERIBO IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALANA

To Kill a Hyena
In Hindsight of a Discordant Strategy of War
TO KILL A HYENA is a compelling tour de force of the concept that to defeat an insurgency you must become the insurgency and that evil is best destroyed from within. Most wars are fought along structured lines; but not all wars. Counterinsurgency wars are fought in a bewildering battlespace which is everywhere and nowhere at the same time and victory can only be achieved by mastering the chaos. And so it is in the wild plains of Africa, where rogue hyenas are best killed by other hyenas. If you want to eradicate a nest of vipers, send other vipers.
