One of the most tragic wars in Southern Africa's history, the
Rhodesian Civil War, raged for over a decade. Spanning from 1966 to
1979, the seeds for this conflict were sown almost a century
earlier when, in 1889, the British South Africa Company was granted
a Royal Charter to occupy land north of the Limpopo River. An
inevitable clash of ideology and political ambitions ensued,
culminating in the Rhodesian Government declaring unilateral
independence in November 1965, a move that set the nation alight.
This dramatic and detailed book maps out the critical events that
led to war, identifying the combatants and detailing
chronologically the salient events of the conflict. Through
detailed narrative, Rhodesian History author John Frame, traces how
international political interferences influenced the war, and why
the Rhodesian Security Forces lost the war despite having won most
of the battles. It showcases how Rhodesia was caught in the vice of
the Cold War and the how, through the political ambitions of major
powers, the combatants in this bloody war were not in control of
their own destinies.
