Zuid-Afrikaanse troepen doen een inval in Zimbabwe, waar commando's een bijzondere vondst doen: uiterst geheime aanvalsplannen die toebehoren aan het ANC. De plannen komen terecht bij een militante factie van het Zuid-Afrikaanse bewind.

Deze lieden weten op ingenieuze wijze het ANC zó te manipuleren, dat het radeloze ANC de vrijwel complete zittende regering uitmoordt, daarmee ongewild de weg vrijmakend voor een nieuwe regering... een blanke, extreemrechtse dictatuur.

De wereld reageert geschokt op het nieuwe bewind. De strijd die dan ontbrandt is er een van ongekende afmetingen. Heel Zuid-Afrika verandert in een vlammend strijdtoneel. Zowel chemische als nucleaire wapens worden door de regering op scherp gezet. De wereld houdt haar adem show more in, terwijl op diverse plaatsen ver van Zuid-Afrika de rassenonlusten aanzwellen tot een hels inferno.

De Amerikaanse legerleiding bereidt in allerijl een gigantische militaire operatie voor: codenaam Brave Fortune. Doel: een democratisch Zuid-Afrika zonder Apartheid.
