Spectra Series: Mark Griffiths, Andrea Sartori: Philistine - a Professional Soldier in Africa

PHILISTINE by Mark Griffiths is an uncompromising memoir of African warfare. Set in the late 1970s, it reflects the harsh realities and attitudes of its era, portraying a conflict fought without restraint against ruthless insurgents across southern Africa.
Drawn from an international cadre of elite professionals within 44 Parachute Brigade, the Pathfinders were tasked with leading the way and softening enemy positions before the main force advanced.
Griffiths combines first-hand combat experience with an understanding of the region's complex political landscape, revealing a war whose psychological consequences continue to resonate decades later.
