In the 1960s and 1970s, South Africans were involved in three major counterinsurgency wars in Sub Saharan Africa: The Congo Crisis (‘60-65), the Rhodesian Bush War (‘64-79), and the Border War (‘66-90). Each of these conflicts were a unique combination of policing action, counterinsurgency and full-scale warfare. The South African Border War was known for its daring cross border raids by elite South African counterinsurgency units such as the infamous “Recces”, the particularly brutal and effective policing unit called “Koevoet”, and the success of the South African Ratel IFV against T-55s tanks.
One of the most interesting aspects of the conflict was the small arms used by both sides. The Weaponry Book Set covers the manual of arms of a variety of different weapons used by the SADF over the course of the conflict, along with the weapons used by communist insurgency forces.
Included are instructions on the proper aiming, firing and zeroing of a variety of small arms, including proper breathing and bracing techniques to train. Detailed schematics regarding the fieldstripping and cleaning of different weapons, along with step-by-step breakdowns covering the weapons functions and components. Perfect for any burgeoning firearms enthusiasts, or simply for someone looking to learn more about South Africa and its history. This series of books makes for a great coffee table read or conversation starter.

Republic of South Africa - Weaponry Complete Book Set
Love the book and even brought it into work where I work with a lady who is from South Africa and was part of the SADF in 1994 and thinking about getting the book signed by her
I love old manuals, great addition to the collection
High quality print. Really interesting information. My Dad did a double take when he opened his present :)
Always need to get the full set; would recommend for anybody interested in interesting periods of military history during the Cold War.
Very nerdy read. Great for niche history buffs. I hope you guys will do more of these from different Cold War conflicts.
