The Wind Blows and the River Flows

In this novella Joab Badenhorst as a white South African male finds himself literally thrown into the cauldron of war, fighting on the wrong side of history, first in the counter-insurgency bush war on the Namibian-Angolan border and then in the Angolan civil war. Unable to extricate himself he experiences at first hand the existential futility of his life in a Universe ruled by contingency.
