Description

Fifty years on, this superb and exciting book depicts the military history of Southern Rhodesia from the first resistance to colonial rule, through the period of UDI by the Smith government to the Lancaster House agreement that transferred power. There are vivid accounts of the operations against the black nationalist ‘guerillas’ by the security forces and the intensity of the fighting and courage of the participants will surprise and enthrall readers. Atrocities were definitely committed by both sides but equally the protagonists were playing for very high stakes.

But that is more than only a book on military operations. The Authors may be able to provide expert analysis of the historical situation and examines events as much as the present day, including Mugabe’s operations against rival tribes and white farmers.

For a thorough work on its subject this book can’t be bettered. Crucial reading for those wishing to be told more about a counterinsurgency campaign. The ingenuity of the Rhodesian military fighting against overwhelming odds and restricted by sanctions is impressive but the outcome culminating within the Lancaster House Agreement used to be inevitable.
