Simon Mann
On 7 March 2004, former SAS soldier and mercenary Simon Mann prepared to take off from Harare International Airport with a plane full of heavy weaponry and guns for hire. Their destination: Equatorial Guinea. Their intention: to remove one of the most brutal dictators in Africa in a privately organised coup d’etat.
The plot had the tacit approval of Western intelligence agencies. It had the backing of a European government, and the endorsement of a former Prime Minister. Simon Mann had personally planned, overseen and won two wars in Angola and Sierra Leone. But everything went wrong. When Simon Mann was released from five years’ incarceration in some of Africa’s toughest prisons, he made worldwide headlines. Years later he has agreed to tell everything in a remarkable first-hand account of his life entitled Cry Havoc, published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. Extras Reviews, News & Interviews: |
