This book 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 a lively and accessible
account, 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.
