This richly illustrated story – the first comprehensive history to appear in over 50 years – includes a wide range of historically important photographs, many long unseen, and encompasses a broad swathe of Jewish life, from the bimah and the boardroom to the bowling green. Beginning with the first Jewish immigrants to South Africa, and depicting the fragility of the early foundations and the shifting fortunes of this infant community, the book traces its development to robust maturity amidst turbulent social and political currents. These include the strident antisemitism of the 1930s, the moral dilemmas of the apartheid era, the subsequent turbulent transition towards a non-racial democracy, the birth of the New South Africa and the fresh challenges and promise that have followed in its wake up to the present day.
The Jews in South Africa will be of great interest to every member of the Jewish community living both in South Africa and in their adoptive countries, as well as for all wishing to learn more about this highly energetic and innovative community whose contribution in many spheres of life has so greatly influenced and enriched the history of South Africa.

The Jews in South Africa: An Illustrated History
Based on defense if Duffers Drift, but I had only time to read the first half, which is a pretty good introduction to urban combat in a potentially hostile environment. The story is built around six dreams of him setting up a base inside an Iraqi village during the 2003-2010 war. The author starts again fresh every time, avoiding previous mistakes (but making new ones). The learning process opens new layers of understanding every time.
The first dream mostly deals with setting up sufficient close security, then it moves on to patrolling the area and dealing with the local population. Dealing with the population involves getting rapport with the population, deescalating conflicts and then strengthening ties to build co-operation and finally, to rebuild permanent social and administrative structures to make sure the insurgents don't come back.
Not sure how useful it is to fully prepared troops going into the line (one hopes they get this during mission training) but should be useful for lower ranking leaders as a first start. And very useful to the arm chair generals community.
