Book Launch: Command by Peter Sereko and Antonio Garcia

Military-history readers are invited to Exclusive Books Centurion for the launch of Command: A Soldier’s Journey in the African Battlespace by Brigadier General Peter Sereko and Antonio Garcia.

The book traces Sereko’s career from the battlefields of Angola during the Border War to peacekeeping deployments in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Having served at platoon, company, battalion, and brigade level, he offers a first-hand perspective on command, conflict, and military leadership across a changing South Africa.

Readers can expect gripping accounts of combat, insights into the integration and training of former liberation forces within the SANDF, and reflections on the responsibilities carried by those who lead soldiers in difficult environments. Sereko also recounts his role in operations against rebel groups in the DRC and illicit mining activity closer to home.

Join Sereko and Garcia for a fascinating conversation about the experiences behind the book and what it means to lead in the African battlespace.

Attendance is free, but an RSVP is essential.
