A Rhodesian SAS officer with extensive combat service in Mozambique, South Africa, Rhodesia and Namibia, the author served in Rhodesia's Tracker Combat Unit, which he eventually commanded. Later, he also served with the elite Selous Scouts, then the South African Special Forces. Few men in the world have as much hands-on tracking experience. From detecting and reading sign to finding lost spoor or even organizing a multi-agency search for armed fugitives, Scott-Donelan's book proves an authoritative, well written guide.
