Great rendition of the war that raged for decades over on the East side of Africa. I was a missionary there at the time and the people and events are set out as they happened. Gritty book, gritty time, gritty place. But written in a lively manner and like it was. Now the place is starving and the UN calls it a Kleptocracy, a government of thieves.

Highly recommend this book. If you are at all interested in the Rhodesia conflict it gives a pretty unbiased look at the operational and strategic levels while still adding enough tactical info to keep it interesting.

Read this in conjunction with a Handful of Hardmen a biography of a Rhodesian SAS soldier. The book being reviewed gave a more political overview of the conflict. The book was detailed about the support for the various protagonists and particular Russian and Chinese support for the "freedom fighters. It was well researched and eye opening particularly for someone who moved to Rhodesia in the late 70's

Excellent read, very informative and well presented. Unbais account of whatreally transpired during the war. A must read for anyone interested in the Rhodesian war.

Great history of a war largely unknown to Americans. Told by insiders who were reservists in Rhodesia's bush war, this book focus on the political as well as the strategic and tactical aspects of the war. A good read.

Military history is always interesting and this does not dissapoint

This is a remarkable book whose first edition was published in South Africa in 1982, very shortly after the events related in the book, when these were still very fresh in the actors’ minds. It has been updated and republished in 2008 and now in 2015 for the fiftieth anniversary of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (or UDI) of what was then called Rhodesia (or even South Rhodesia).Despite being told from the side of the Rhodesian security forces, the book is, as another reviewer mentioned, a surprisingly non-partisan and lucid analysis of their counter-insurgency operations. The authors show that despite the superior organisation and training, the undermanned, outnumbered and outgunned Rhodesian forces were fighting a losing war almost from the very beginning and explain why this was the case.While the book is written in a lively manner and makes no mystery about the atrocities that took place on both sides, it clearly shows how both the government and the security forces lacked a clear strategy and clearly defined objectives. It also shows how their propaganda only reached the small white minority that they were fighting for, and not the huge black majority which became increasingly “politicised” over the years as the regime gradually lost control of much of the countryside.A further merit of this book is to show to what extent Rhodesian forces and government became increasingly dependent upon the barely covert support they were receiving through and from South Africa. It also shows how the latter’s Vorster government used them, applied pressure on them and manipulated them to suit its own interests. Finally, it makes no bones of the internal divisions and – at times – rivalries that hampered their war effort, divisions that were matched by those of the Marxist and Maoist guerrilla forces and parties that were opposing them.Above all, however, this is a book about military history, the history of a war that – at least in retrospect – seemed impossible to win for the white Rhodesian minority although it refused to accept it and believed otherwise. It is also very much topical with regards to counter-insurgencies, with the events and operations that it includes still being studied in Western war schools.Finally, and although the authors’ tone remains factual throughout the book, the book’s last section is about “doom and gloom”. It concludes on a war than could only be lost, the emigration of the (small) white minority and the complete and disastrous mismanagement of a country that used to be portrayed as a breadbasket but has known several famines since 1980. Five stars.
