Al J. Venter Ordre des livres

An exploration of how Jihadist forces are responsible for instigating and escalating conflicts in countries across Africa.

From a small town in Mpumalanga to dodging bullets in war-torn Al J. Venter, the oldest war correspondent still active, bore witness to some of humanity’s biggest atrocities – and has lived to tell the tale. In the 1960s, with little money, a sense of adventure and a healthy dollop of chutzpah, Venter set out overland from Cape Town to London. Since then, Venter has reported from 25 conflict zones. In his memoir, Venter masterfully recounts his experiences.

Al Venter is a recognised expert in recent military history, particularly on nuclear weapons. In Nuclear Terror, he assesses the developments over the past 10 years of different countries in their attempts to build a nuclear programme.
