From the battlefields of Angola during the Border War to the jungles of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Command tells the story of a soldier who fought and excelled in the African battlespace.

Resolute and mission focused, Brigadier General Peter Sereko has held command from platoon to brigade level and served on several peace-keeping missions. This book offers gripping accounts of war, leadership lessons and insight into the integration process in the SANDF.
