    I listened to Des' podcast about the Falklands War and that led me to this one. Both are well-researched and narrated in a way that is easy to listen to and comprehend.

  • Best Podcast on this subject, period

    You won’t find a more detailed, thorough and riveting podcast on this essential part of South African history anywhere. Relish in the manner in which Des puts you right in the thick of it, where you can taste, hear, smell and touch everything that the participants did in the field, a truly extraordinary experience all around.
