Hello Jow Forums. As you may know, the mercenary commander Thomas Michael "Mad Mike" Hoare today celebrates his 100th birthday. He's one of the last surviving veterans of the Congo Crisis, and perhaps the paradigmatic 'soldier of fortune' of the Cold War in Africa. To celebrate I am dumping scans of a three-part biographical feature (written by his son, Chris Hoare) which SOF magazine ran in the winter of 1985-6.

Dump ends. You have been visited by the Mad Mike of Birthday Greetings. Congolese francs, vintage FALs and fine Irish liquor will come to you, but only if you reply to this post with "Happy Birthday Mad Mike!"
