Peter Badcock, born in South Africa, educated and lived in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) until 1980, returned to South Africa. A reserve force officer during Rhodesia's protracted struggle


"Born in South Africa, Peter Badcock was educated and lived, until 1980, in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) before returning to settle in South Africa. Following a career in exhibition and interior design, public relations and advertising, he turned to fine art and writing in 1978 with the publication of his first book, Shadows of War in a limited de luxe edition. It was an emotive recording of Rhodesia's savage guerilla war, and such was its poignancy and its accurate reflection of the country's condition that it sold out, literally, in days. The national clamour for more of his evocative work encouraged him to produce his second book, Faces of War, in both limited and standard editions. It encapsulated further moments in the escalating drama, pathos and wry whimsy of Rhodesia at war, and, similarly, enjoyed bestselling succes. For the past twelve months, Peter Badcock has researched and worked on Images of War. The result is a unique overview of South Africa's Servicemen caught up in their own simmering border conflict. A reserve force officer during Rhodesia's protracted struggle, his security force experience and his physical and emotional involvement in that country's war lend perspective to Images of War." -- book flap
