The Road to Kalamata
A Congo Mercenary's Personal Memoir
by Mike Hoare

The Road to Kalamata is the real-life adventure story of the 4 Commando team of mercenary soldiers, as told by their leader, Col. Mike Hoare. At the close of 1960, the newly formed independent state of Katanga in central Africa recruited Hoare and his team to suppress a rebellion by the Baluba, a fierce tribe of warriors rumored to be cannibals and known to torture and dismember any enemy soldiers unlucky enough to be captured. The events recounted in this book occurred in the Congo during the Katanga campaign of 1961.

With insight that only an officer with extensive battlefield experience can bring to this subject, Colonel Hoare chronicles the metamorphosis of 4 Commando from a loose assembly of individuals into a highly organized fighting unit, while also taking the reader inside the minds and hearts of men who sell their military skills for money. What emerges is a compelling and complex portrait of genuine adventurers, "a breed of men which," writes Hoare, "has almost vanished from the face of the earth."

Paladin Press is pleased to make available once again this engaging, colorful and thoughtful account, originally published in 1989, complete with a new foreword by the 20th century's most famous mercenary and one of its most eloquent storytellers.

by Mike Hoare

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.
