    "Bye Bye Belgium", in French .

    Highly entertaining read, if you remember the fake broadcast in belgium a few years ago:

    YouTube - Vlaanderen Onafhankelijk RTBF Terzake *COMPLEET*

    It pretended that Belgium had split in to two countries, and my, my was it funny to see those crazy walloons panic :).

                I am not reading yet, because I'm looking for a good book, whether fiction or not, about the South African Border War, Executive Outcomes, and conflicts in Black Africa in general.

                Perhaps the ex-SADF gentlemen Soutie and Sappersgt know something?

                  Not currently reading anything at the moment, but some of the more memorable books have read have been a books called, "The Paladin" set in WW2, tells the story of a young boy who ended up becoming a spy for Winston Churchill, there is, allegedly, some truth to it, the second is a fictional book based on fact called, "Greenbeach", whch again set in WW2 tells the tale of the Canadian assault on the French coast and to escort a techy up to a Radar site, to retrieve Radar equipment, the reason I mention these two is that, in all the books I have read I have never before found one that cross references the other,

                      Here's a fairly long list of non-fiction books on the Border War. For fiction try Larry Bonds "Vortex", although fiction it does contain a description of at least one operation that really happened.:)

                              • i wonder if Sven Hassel's books are true or fiction?

                                i've read all of them, great novel but what about the truths?

                                do anybody know something about this?

                                Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none; be able for thine enemy rather in power than use; and keep thy friend under thine own life's key; be checked for silence, but never taxed for speech.
