It makes for inetersting reading. Setting aside the politics of Soldier of Fortune, I think that is a good reflection of the politics and betrayals of the late Cold War period, and also a reflection of the skewed morals and priorities with regards Africa that the West sometimes displays, and also about how many of the current problems in Zimbabwe are the result of regional African leaders and the influence that they had with people caught in the throes of post-colonial guilt. Looks like nothing has changed for the better in the last 30 years...
