The War
Diaries of André Dennison by JRT
Wood
Major André Dennison,
formerly of the British paras and 22-SAS Regiment, became the first commanding
officer of ‘A’ Company of the 2nd Battalion of the elite Rhodesian African
Rifles on 1 October 1975 and retained that command until he was killed in action
on 3 June 1979.
His war diary, the only official one of any unit to survive the Rhodesian bush
war, edited by Richard Wood, is a remarkable unique record of low intensity
warfare in the African bush.
