• Wolf On The Fold

We all know that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction. Or did he? A young British Army Intelligence officer races against time to find out before death and destruction rains down on Coalition forces.

Lieutenant Jason Owen's path to averting military disaster also leads him on a voyage of personal discovery, covering four generations of British and South African soldiers fighting across a landscape stretching from the Western Front in 1916 through North Africa in 1942, Angola in 1978 and culminating in Iraq in 2004. It solves the question of why the three generations before him became involved in Iraqi affairs.

This book is for anyone who has an interest in the military history of South Africa, Britain or Iraq.
