It is January, 1978. Groups of nervous, dutiful white conscripts
begin their National Service with Rhodesia's security forces. Ian
Smith's minority regime is in its dying days and negotiations
towards majority rule are already under way. For these
inexperienced eighteen-year-olds, there is nothing to do but go on
fighting, and hold the line while the transition happens around
them. Dead Leaves is a richly textured memoir in which an ordinary
troopie grapples with the unique dilemmas presented by an
extraordinary period in history - the specters of inner violence
and death; the pressurized arrival of manhood; and the place of
conscience, friendship and beauty in the pervasive atmosphere of
futile warfare.
