Despite this, the squadron nearly wiped out the Angolan forces' 47 Brigade. In Ratels on the Lomba, the reader is taken to the heart of the action in a dramatic recreation based on interviews, diary entries and Facebook contributions by members of Charlie Squadron. It is an intensely human story of how individuals react in the face of death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leopold Scholtz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911512870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911512875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Helion \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Leopold Scholtz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075144773887,"sku":"9781911512875","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8d5640c5-a15b-492f-bb7f-930230d954ba.jpg?v=1685457856","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ratels-on-the-lomba-leopold-scholtz-9781911512875","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
