Are you certain this article is inappropriate? Email Address:. At first, Carney could not get his novel published, but for a chance meeting with film producer Euan Lloyd. Lloyd loved the story, about mercenaries in Africa on a mission to rescue a deposed leader, and purchased the rights to film the novel. Carney in return asked for his novel to be published and Lloyd agreed, as he had already had an offer from an American The Wild Geese when he had first taken the novel to Hollywood. The novel was finally published as The Wild Geese in just before the film's release. Deposed Congolese President Julius Limbani is on a flight to Israelwhen his bodyguard is murdered. When Limbani fails to arrive, Faulkner is left unemployed and returns to South Africa. Faulkner learns that not only is Limbani alive The Wild Geese he is held in Algeria and is to be returned to the Congo for execution. But what Matherson proposes is for Faulkner to raise and lead a The Wild Geese unit to rescue Limbani and bring him to London. With this chance to redeem his tarnished reputation after Limbani was kidnapped under his contracted safety, Faulkner agrees and sets about assembling his team. Three men are top of Faulkner's list, all have served under him in the past and are trusted beyond question. First to be recruited is American Rafer Janders, who at that time is in The Wild Geese from the Mafia. They've put out a contract on Janders' life after he killed a local godfather's nephew after tricking Janders into being a courier of heroin. As Matherson persuades the mafia into lifting the contract, Faulkner finds Janders holed up above a night ckub for homosexuals. Whilst waiting for Matherson to deal with the mafia, Faulkner learns about what has happened to Janders since they last served together 7 years ago. After recruiting two more officers Fynn and Coetzee and The Wild Geese NCOs and enlisted men, the group travels to Mozambique for training. Once Young begins training, he quickly becomes resented by most of the men because of his rigid and harsh methods. While Faulkner remains popular with the men, it is not the same for the RSM, who easily defeats an The Wild Geese by a few disgruntled mercenaries to kill him. Now respected as well as disliked by the men, Young transforms aged old soldiers and young rookies into a formidable fighting force. As Faulkner and Janders procure their transport and weapons, Chandos, Fynn and Coetzee explore the local nightlife of Lourenenco Marques. There Fynn falls in love with a local escort girl, and finds himself once again with a reason not to go on the mission. Fynn eventually recognises that he has a responsibility to his comrades and flies out with the rest of the mercenaries. The plane belonging to Mad Malloy, takes them to their drop zone in the hills surrounding Albertville. The jump goes well except for Fynn, whose chute fails to deploy properly but manages to land safely after using his reserve chute. Faulkner gathers his men, then the group splits in two and each march on their respective objective. As Chandos and Fynn's group approach the local AirportFaulkner's group The Wild Geese to find the army barracks after an unexpected delay. The barracks which hold a garrison of the Congolese The Wild Geese army ANC The Wild Geese well as the imprisoned Limbani, cannot be approached easily as there is no cover for a hundred metres. To take out the three sentries, Coetzee shoots them with crossbow armed with cyanide -tipped bolts. The mercenaries enter the barracks quickly and quietly as most of the garrison is asleep, it is now they split into three further groups. As RSM. Young leads one team to destroy the armouryJanders' group enter the dormitories and wearing gas masks proceeds to kill the sleeping soldiers with cyanide gas. While these two groups get on with their tasks, Faulkner's group burst in on the guard-house under cover of the mercenaries guns. Coetzee relieves one of the Congolese Officers of the keys to the cells located beneath the room and along with a Scottish mercenary McTaggart Coetzee storms the basement, and after The Wild Geese short firefight they free Limbani. With their mission complete, Faulkner's group leaves the barracks for the airport in captured ANC trucks. After being told over the radio that Faulkner had been successful, Chandos' team attacks the main building while Fynn's team take over the control tower. With the airport under the control of the mercenaries they await the arrival of Faulkner's group, but unfortunately the perimeter guards start to come under attack from Ndofa's Simbas. As they hold off the Simbas and await Faulkner, Fynn uses the control tower's radio to talk the waiting transport plane down onto the runway. The plane The Wild Geese just as the Simbas break through the perimeter at the opposite end of the runway to the plane and start shooting at it. At this time Faulkner's group arrives, but the plane's pilot under strict instructions from Mad Malloy refuses to wait for the mercenaries and promptly takes off. Leaving the mercenaries stranded, Faulkner organises a fighting withdrawal taking with them all the fuel, spare arms and ammunition they can pile on the trucks and jeeps. The mercenaries ambush the following Simbas and are still in good order, only losing a few men killed. As they make their way south, heading for Limbani's The Wild Geese tribal land they approach an old rickety wooden road bridge. Only the first few vehicles make it across, as the bridge collapses under the weight of a fuel tanker leaving the last jeep stranded on the northern river bank. As Faulkner's party reached the village of The Wild Geese people and found a sort of sanctuary there, Coetzee's party was ambushed by the Simbas. Whity was killed and McTaggart missing it is later revealed that he had suicidally charged the Simbas with a grenade in each hand after deliberately drawing them away from Coetzee and Limbani, and Coetzee was also killed while trying to save Limbani. Ndofa contacts Faulkner over the The Wild Geese in the local police station, which the mercenaries have taken over and are using as their headquarters. With the risk of Limbani's return starting a civil war Ndofa and Faulkner The Wild Geese to make a deal: Limbani for one million dollars. Janders disagrees and, holding Faulkner at gunpoint, forces a vote amongst the mercenary officers. When the local missionary priest reveals to the mercenaries The Wild Geese there is a Dakota on an airstrip nearby they decide to use it to escape, with Fynn to pilot it all the way to Rhodesia. The taking over of the lone Dakota on the all but deserted airstrip goes well, but as the bulk of the mercenaries retreat towards The Wild Geese plane they are ambushed and killed. Faulkner himself is gravely wounded, unable to carry Faulkner to the plane the RSM decides to stay with him. As the Simbas gather round them, the RSM sets off a grenade killing not only himself and Faulkner but also some The Wild Geese the Simbas. Fynn starts up the Dakota's engines and taxi's onto the runway as Janders and several others provide cover as the mercenaries load aboard the plane. At the last second as the plane begins to start its take off they rush for the plane, under the gunfire from the Simbas. Janders helps one mercenary who has been wounded, but in doing so misses his own chance to climb onto the accelerating aircraft. With the distance between the plane and Janders growing he pleads to be killed and not left to the savage Simbas, which Chandos regretfully does with a burst from his rifle. The Dakota suddenly slows down on the runway and u-turns heading back the way it came, because Fynn is shot in the spine and thus making the killing of Janders unnecessary.

  • Daniel Carney and Zimbabwe
    DANIEL CARNEY AND ZIMBABWE In the early 1980s, Daniel Carney’s fame as a writer of popular thrillers was cresting. Euan Lloyds’ film of Carney’s second novel, The Wild Geese, had just been released, its blood-and-guts depiction of white mercenaries in Africa continuing to delight overgrown teenagers on YouTube to this day. Filmed to much protest in apartheid South Africa, the production was followed in 1985 by the far less successful Wild Geese II, based on Carney’s novel The Square Circle. If Wilbur Smith, Robert Ludlum and other thriller writers signed to Bantam in the seventies are still read today, then Carney’s name and work have disappeared almost completely. In part, this can be explained by his widow’s refusal to allow reprints of his work after his death aged 43 in 1987. However, Carney’s association with the white minority rule of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) might also be blamed for his obscurity, even if this association now seems as unfair and crass as Rhodesia’s political system prior to 1979. Far from endorsing the Rhodesian regime, Carney’s thrillers show an increasing distance from white minority rule while condemning the horrific terrorist acts of Mugabe’s ZANU guerillas. Unremarked even at its publication in 1980, his best novel Under a Raging Sky hinted at a future with genuine democracy in Zimbabwe, at the same time as noting the dangers of what was, in fact, to ensue: a rushed endorsement of Robert Mugabe’s ZANU PF with the tragic consequences we see today. The son of a British diplomat and a wealthy Canadian mother, Carney was born in Beirut in 1943 and shuttled between Macau, Canada and West African states as a child before being sent to boarding school in England at the age of seven, after which time he rarely saw his parents, other than during summer holidays.

  • Wild Geese and Solidarity: Conjunctural Praxis for a Spirit-Filled Ethics
    Wild Geese and Solidarity: Conjunctural Praxis for a Spirit-filled Ethics MARILYNJ. LEGGE Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting­ over and over announcing your place in the family ofthings. 1 Introduction IN OUR CURRENT condition of postrnodem globalization, capitalism infil­ trates and commodifies the nooks and crannies of our personal lives and our world. This dislocation of our spatial, social, historical, and intimate connections presents new difficulties for building justice and peace and mending creation. In the absence of credible political alternatives, people's energy and hope for change can weaken and fade our vision of a common good. How can people link across particularities for the sake of justice and community? Mary Oliver's poetic voice moves us to pursue shifting pattems of conjunction. Like wild geese who resist domestica­ tion, we need to preserve energy in the rhythm of ongoing movement, to participate in a joumey without assured outcomes, to share leadership and rest, and never to forget the most vulnerable. In this harsh and excit­ ing world, we will conjoin social relations with the mystery of Cod's creation.2 1. Mary Oliver, "Wild Geese," in Dream Work (New York: Atlantic Monthly Press, 1986),14. 2. My hearty thanks to Liz Bounds, Michael Bourgeois, and Alyda Faber for their con­ structive response to earlier drafts of this essay. 165 166 MARILYN J. LEGGE Beverly Wildung Harrison is a contemporary prophet who considers theological ethics as a material practice. She has mentored many of us near and far in the political project of making Christian theology gen­ uinely critical enough to escape cultural provincialism, especially by making ethics and radical social change accountable to women's lived­ world experience, particularly that of those most marginalized.

Last month in Salisbury Des Frost, the Rhodesian Front's chairman, said again that the white electorate must have the final say on any settlement proposals. So long as the British Govemment continues to talk to Smith, the regime will take comfort from Britain's failure to propose tougher international action against it. The regime's record shows that it will only give in when it is forced to by the advances of thi liberation movement. It follows that the way Britain can best contribute to a just settlement s to extend sanctions and show its support for the black majority by such measures as giving aid to Zimbabwean refugees and to commented on the latest proposal that it "totally rejected the USA cochairing such a conference" because this would "internationalise the Zimbabwe problem in which the super Powers would be involved". It added: "The Patriotic Front will never attend enother Geneva conference unless such a conference was to discuss a transfer of pewer from the minority regime to the majority.

Yang 2019 iii Avian Rhetoric, Murmurations Melissa T. Yang, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2019 This dissertation explores the omnipresent role birds play in the English language and in Western cultural history. Reading and weaving across academic discourse, multi-genre literature, and obsolete and everyday figures, I examine the multiplicity of ways in which birds manifest and are embedded in modes and materialities of human composing and communicating. To apply Anne Lamott’s popular advice of writing “bird by bird” literally/liberally, each chapter shares stories of a species, family, or flock of birds. Believing in the enduring rhetorical power of narrative assemblages over explicit thetic arguments, I’ve modeled this project on the movements of flocked birds. I initially proposed and now offer a prosed assembly of avian figures following each other in flight, swerving fluidly across broad and varied landscapes while maintaining elastic, organic connections.

History of the Southern Africa Support Committee The Southern Africa SUi)port Committe (SASe) is a multi­ racial group engaged in ~ctivities relating directly to and supportive of the independence struggles of the peoples of Southern Africa. In existence since 1975 SAse recognizes that the white minority governments of Zimbabwe (Rhodesia), Namibia (South­ west Africa) and Azania (South Afrioa) have forcibly imoosed the inhuman system of apartheid on the black people of these countries. Further, we recognize that to black people in these countries, apartheid means rigid segregation, poverty, arbitrdry imprisonment and one of the hi ghest infant mort­ ality rates in the world. Because of the barbaric conditions under which Africans must live and die, SAse oP?oses all United States military, econo mic, cultural and political ties to the racist govern­ ments in Southern Africa. Beyond this, we acknowledge the various liberation movements in Azania, Namibia and Zimbabwe as the real representatives of the vnst majority of the people. We explicity view the white upholders of the apartheid system as illegitimate and immoral.

  • Interview with Martin Grace (Roger Moore Stunt Double) - 2009/2010
    INTERVIEW WITH MARTIN GRACE (ROGER MOORE STUNT DOUBLE) - 2009/2010 Interview by Anders Frejdh, Founder of From Sweden with Love, and Marie-France Vienne, webmaster for Roger Moore’s official website. First of all, could you tell us a little bit about yourself? I was born in Kilkenny, Ireland on September 12, 1942. I attended National School at a little place called Lisdowney. The village master in the town thought his little school were the best. He was a sincere man and stern to view. That was from the age of 6 to 14. Then, I attended the college in Kilkenny City. It was during this time that I experienced the excitement of watching my first action movies by a travelling film show in a tent. It was sheer magic. I went to London in the early 1960’s and attended Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. I took a job with Butlins Holiday Camp in 1963, organising sport and playing in their theatre to gain experience. I won a Charlton Heston talent contest in 1974 that took me to Hollywood for the first time. I was already preparing my skills with boxing, wrestling, fencing, swimming, trampoline and gym work out, special motorcar and motorcycling driving skills, parachuting and various other sports in view of becoming an action stunt man in films. I attended stunt classes to learn the basics and joined a stunt agency for films and commercials. It was for commercials that I got my first stunt jobs. The white knight in Supersoft hairspray and the action man on Cadburys milk tray chocolates stunts.
