This title tells the story of how White Rhodesians, three-quarters
of whom were ill-prepared for revolutionary change, reacted to the
"terrorist" war and the onset of black rule in the 1970s. It shows
how internal divisions - both old and new - undermined the supposed
unity of White Rhodesia, how most Rhodesians begrudgingly accepted
the inevitability of black majority rule without adjusting to its
implications, and how the self-appointed defenders of Western
civilization sometimes adopted uncivilized methods of protecting
the "Rhodesian way of life." This is account, is based on careful
archival research and numerous personal interviews. It sets out to
tell the story from the inside and to incorporate the diverse
dimensions of the Rhodesian experience. The authors suggest that
the Rhodesians were more differentiated than has often been assumed
and that perhaps their greatest fault was an almost infinite
capacity for self-delusion.
