The Rand Club and Penguin Random House proudly invite you to the launch of The Battle of Bangui: The Inside Story of South Africa’s Worst Military Scandal Since Apartheid.

After close to a decade of speculation and rumour, The Battle of Bangui lays bare for the first time both the litany of strategic, tactical and logistical blunders that ended in military disaster, and the secret diplomatic and commercial deals that led to South Africa’s worst misadventure of the democratic era. It’s also a cracking war story filled with heroism, camaraderie, terror, pathos and triumph over adversity.

Join the authors Warren Thompson, Stephan Hofstatter and James Oatway and get the inside story.
