Military History Africa

Code Name Blue Tang is a startling book according to many, including myself. I was astounded at what my research revealed. For example, the buzz words for the F-22 / F35 Programs is “BVR” or “Beyond Visual Range Missile Technology” which is a dead-end street but one that is promoted by every “expert” you hear about. Let’s look at history; BVR was used in war, in Africa of all places and we will discuss this. BVR is not rated as worth much and you will read why. What shocked me was that NATO never had air superiority in the 1980s because of a stolen South African technology; ...

In Code Name Bella Dawn, we deal with money and in particular gold being used as a weapon of war. After all, South Africa has 74% of the world’s gold reserves. It is a much more interesting topic than I first realised. Like many others, I was concerned about “perpetual small wars” that only benefit the Merchants of Death and cause tremendous problems for future generations. We love history in GMJ Books and always go back in time to see what we can learn. I made a few interesting discoveries. Did you know, for instance, that when Adolf Hitler seized Czechoslovakia, he also seized their...

Code Name Love 72 deals with two subjects. Firstly, the role of South African Army Cavalry Units during the long Border War 1966-1989. The cavalry use was a concept that came directly from the late South African Army Chief of Staff, General Magnus Malan. A man that I admire and one that was cruelly smeared as a child molester in a recent book that I consider to be unworthy in the extreme. Therefore, since the mainstream will spread their lies, I made sure to have on record that Magnus Malan was not, repeat not, a pedophile. If he was alive when the smear book came out he would have won a ...

In Code Name Lise, we deal with the idea of sinking warships with shore-bound artillery. It can be done and was done before, but you need the ships to be near, at a dangerously close range. They must be ambushed unexpectedly and destroyed, or you will be in deep trouble, as they call in heavy airstrikes or use their long-range weapons to maximum effect. The major problem you may face in this scenario is the air threat. All modern warships are armed with helicopters and South African warships at times have the Denel Rooivalk attack helicopter on them. This helicopter is deadly and feared for...

History is written by the victors, and Rome had some very eloquent historians. Those the Romans regarded as barbarians left few records of their own, but they had a tremendous impact on the Roman imagination. Resisting from outside Rome's borders or rebelling from within, they emerge vividly in Rome's historical tradition, and left a significant footprint in archaeology.

Il conflitto in Africa fu uno dei campi di battaglia più importanti della Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Lo scontro tra le forze dell’Asse, guidate da Eric Rommel, la “Volpe del Deserto”, e quelle alleate fu un lungo conflitto pieno di colpi di scena e rovesciamenti di fronte.
