'Christian Warfare in Rhodesia-Zimbabwe' takes a hard look at the
history of the Salvation Army in Rhodesia-Zimbabwe and its long
history with both the government and the rest of the church. Norman
H. Murdoch examines in-depth the parallels between the events of
the First Chimurenga, an uprising against European occupation in
1896-97, and the Second Chimurenga in the 1970s, the civil war that
led to majority rule. At the time of the first, the Salvation Army
was barely established in the country; by the second, it was fully
entrenched in the ruling class. Murdoch explores the collaboration
of this Christian mission with the institutions of white rule and
the painful process of disentanglement necessary by the late
twentieth century. Stories of martyrdom and colonial mythology are
set in the carefully researched context of ecumenical relations and
the Salvation Army's largely unknown and seldom accessible internal
politics.
