About this listen

 Today we enter the murky world of mercenaries in Cold War Africa. 'Mad Mike' Hoare became a global celebrity as he led his famous 5th Commando against the Simba rebellion in the Congo, and then tried to overthrow the government of the Seychelles in possibly the worst coup in history. Yet behind the glamour there was a dark side of ex-Nazis, war crimes and rampant looting.
