Che Guevara, Nelson Mandela and the Sowti Squad – what connects them?
Everyone´s heard of the first two but who the hell was the Sowti Squad?
In 1964, Nelson Mandela was sentenced to life imprisonment on Robben Island while Che Guevara planned to export the Cuban revolution to the Congo Republic. The South Africans wanted Mandela out of the country. America´s CIA wanted Che Guevara to stay in Africa, dead, minus some body parts and with the rest pushing up the local equivalent of daisies.
Africa was the mercenary playground and the S Africans and CIA were the playgroup leaders. They set up the Sowti Squad, an expendable group of mercenaries, to carry out their wishes.
Unfortunately for them, the Sowti Squad not only wanted as much money as possible, but also wanted to live to spend it. No mercenary wants to be the richest corpse in the mortuary.
How well did the Sowti Squad do the job? The book tells why Nelson Mandela remained in prison and how Che Guevara survived the attentions of Africa´s best mercenaries, the Sowti Squad.
The Sowti Squad. Is this book a work of fiction? Of course it is, except for those bits that aren´t. Which bits are and which bits aren´t? Judge for yourself. Was there a Sowti Squad?

The Sowti Squad is now out of print. Thanks to all buyers, I trust you found it a good read. My second book is ready for the publisher (if I can find one!) and I've started planning 3rd. |

I've researched, and assassinations were planned against these two. Maybe your books explains how they (CIA, etc) tries to do it. Exciting it. |
