 Congo Mercenary
by Mike Hoare

In July 1964, after four years of uneasy independence, the Democratic Republic of the Congo was engulfed by an armed rebellion that spread throughout the country like a bush fire. The rebel soldiers struck terror into the hearts of civilians and National Army soldiers alike. Faced with this situation, the Congolese government hired legendary mercenary leader Mike Hoare to quell the uprising and bring order to the country.

In Congo Mercenary, Mike Hoare tells the true story of his resolute band of mercenaries during the Congo war. In fascinating detail, Hoare describes how the mercenaries were recruited and trained, and then recounts their adventures through four combat campaigns over an 18-month period during which they liberated Stanleyville, fought rebels in the hinterland, freed hundreds of European hostages and restored law and order to the Congo.

Originally published in 1967, and now including a new foreword by Mike Hoare, Congo Mercenary is a well-written and historically important account of one of the most brutal rebellions in Africa, as well as an accurate and gritty depiction of the mercenary life.

Mike Hoare is one of the 20th century's most famous mercenaries, and clearly its most talented scribe, as this collection demonstrates. Originally published in 1967, Congo Mercenary is a well-written and historically important account of one of the most brutal rebellions in Africa, as well as an accurate depiction of mercenary life. In Congo Warriors, which the author has described as his favorite of all the books he has written, Colonel Hoare provides an unparalleled understanding of mercenary action in Africa, including the involvement of the CIA in such activities. The Road to Kalamata is the real-life adventure story of the 4 Commando team of mercenary soldiers. The Seychelles Affair recounts one of the most infamous episodes in the tangled history of mercenary warfare in Africa.
