Colonel Mad Mike Hoare died on the Feast of the Presentation, February 2nd, 2020, he was 100 years old. This in itself is remarkable, given his way of life. One reader commented, "His death is a tragedy, but he had a good run."
Yes indeed. The film Wild Geese is based on Hoare's heroic action in the Congo, and some argue it's the "best film ever made." He not only stood against but fought the Communist horde.
Rest in Peace, Colonel Hoare, and rise in glory.
