The Byzantine plot, its farcical execution and, ultimately, its tragic consequences led to Mark Thatcher and a host of celebrated guns-for-hire falling victim to their own egos, Machiavellian scheming and perverse double-crosses.\u003cbr\u003e Due to a twist of fate James Brabazon remains free to tell the story. His friend Nick du Toit wasn't as lucky. He is serving a 34-year sentence in Africa's most notorious jail, Black Beach Prison: a sentence that James could very easily be serving beside him. My Friend the Mercenary is a brutally honest account of a journey without maps.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48135660109982,"sku":"UBD-9781921656439","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781921656439.jpg?v=1786626540","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781921656439","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
