The 1st Battalion, The Rhodesian Light Infantry, was one of the most
innovative and successful counter-insurgency units in modern history.
Formed as a commando battalion in 1964 after the dissolution of the
Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, the RLI was an all-white unit
made up of South Africans and men from the UK, Europe and US. It was a
key weapon in independent Rhodesia's struggle against the Zimbabwe
African National Liberation Army and Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary
Army during the bloody Rhodesian Bush War. This comprehensive study
explores the unit's dramatic history, revealing the RLI's fearsome
airborne and combat capacity, which gave the unit, at times, near
total tactical superiority against its opponents.
