The Jubilee Edition of the very rare Rhodesian Light Infantry magazine, devoted to all aspects of the history of this famed African counter-insurgency unit, founded in 1961 as a British Army regiment and disbanded in 1980 as political power was given by the British to communist terrorist Robert Mugabe as Zimbabwe was granted its own independence. Filled with many nostalgic photos, maps, and reminiscences, containing much accurate history of engagements, contacts, and special operations - both inside Rhodesia and 'externally' into neighboring countries - along with much humor and 'then and now' information on individual former members. Regiment was known as 'Smithie's boys' and 'soldiers of Smith' as it was fiercely loyal to Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith. Published in South Africa by the RLI Regimental Association (RLIRA) and edited by a former NCO therein, magazine format, 72pp. An excellent copy of a very rare and unusual collectible. Size: Large Format.

Sinopsis

The Cheetah is the regimental association magazine for the Rhodesian Light Infantry (RLI). It was last published in hard-copy format in 1980 at the disbandment of the RLI following the cessation of the bush war in the embryonic republic of Zimbabwe. Prior to this, the magazine, renowned for its witty and informed content, was a much sought-after and eagerly-awaited publication for civilians and servicemen alike, being sold commercially through the Southern African book trade. Today, original copies change hands for ridiculously high prices, being regarded as collectables.

With the revival of the RLI Regimental Association (RLIRA) in 2007, the magazine has been published on a quarterly basis since then, in electronic format. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the RLI on 1 February 1961, and 30 years after the disbandment of the regiment, the RLIRA have decided to bring out this hard-copy commemorative glossy edition that takes a nostalgic journey back in time, as well as highlighting the association’s efforts of today in keeping the regimental esprit de corps alive.

Acerca del autor

Chris Cocks was born in Salisbury, Rhodesia in 1957 and served three years and 28 days as a combat NCO with 3 Commando, the Rhodesian Light Infantry (the RLI, an airborne/airmobile unit), from 1976 to 1979. He was then offered a farming job in the country’s Lowveld; however, the army refused to countenance a waiver of call-ups, so he attested into the British South Africa Police and spent the remaining 14 months of the bush war as a PATU (Police Anti-Terrorist Unit) stick leader and avoiding the Military Police. He moved to Johannesburg in 1996 and stumbled into a publishing career, specializing in southern African military history. He has written four books: the bestselling Fireforce: One Man’s War in the Rhodesian Light Infantry, its sequel Out of Action, a steamy novel Cyclone Blues, and co-wrote The Saints, the RLI’s history. He is the historian for The Rhodesian Light Infantry Regimental Association and edits its magazine, The Cheetah.
