Description

The Story of the Air Rhodesia Viscounts Shot Down by Russian-Made Missiles In 1978, two devastating air disasters shook the nation of Rhodesia, leaving a trail of destruction and loss of life. In "Murder in the Zambezi", Ian Pringle recounts the true story of these tragic events, which were not accidents, but the result of terrorism and sabotage. Through extensive interviews with survivors, witnesses, and experts, Pringle sheds light on the heroism and courage displayed in the face of unimaginable tragedy. The book examines the impact of these attacks on the country, and how they contributed to the instability of the region. Pringle also explores the role these events played in shaping the future of Rhodesia, and the rise of Robert Mugabe. This is a thought-provoking and insightful look at a pivotal moment in history, and the people who lived through it. By examining the details of these two tragic events, Pringle provides a nuanced understanding of the complex factors that led to the downfall of the country. "Murder in the Zambezi" is a gripping and informative account of a little-known piece of history, and a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of southern Africa.
