Books   Masodja Alexandre Binda The history of the Rhodesian African Rifles and its forerunner         Masodja—The history of the Rhodesian African Rifles and its forerunner the Rhodesia Native Regiment Alexandre Binda, commissioned and compiled by Brigadier David Heppenstall and the Rhodesian African Rifles Regimental Association (UK) Includes the award-winning documentary DVD Frontline Rhodesia by Richard Cecil and Nick Downie. This is the first time this extraordinary documentary will be available commercially. Originally formed as The Rhodesia Native Regiment during World War I, this fine regiment first saw action in East Africa, pitted against the wily von Lettow-Vorbeck and his army of German askaris. Disbanded and later re-formed, the regiment was to distinguish itself during World War II in the North Africa and Burma campaigns. Using the counter-insurgency experience gleaned from the Malayan Campaign of the 1950s, the RAR provided the front-line troops in the battle for Rhodesia in the country’s bitter civil war of the 1960s and 1970s. In the spirit of The Saints—The Rhodesian Light Infantry, collectors and military enthusiasts will now be able to add to their collection of leather-bound, limited editions. 150 limited, leather-bound copies of Masodja will be available for purchase through 30° South Publishers. The response to this has already been very encouraging with many collectors matching their numbered editions of The Saints to that of Masodja.
