Description
The Rhodesian Civil War (1966-1979) by John Frame A pivotal moment in Southern Africa's history, the Rhodesian Civil War was a decade-long conflict that began with the British South Africa Company's Royal Charter in 1889. The seeds of this tragic war were sown when the company declared unilateral independence in November 1965, sparking widespread unrest. This detailed book chronicles the critical events leading to war, including the roles of international politics and the ultimate defeat of the Rhodesian Security Forces. Through a narrative that spans the conflict's key moments, John Frame sheds light on how the Cold War influenced the war and why the combatants were ultimately at the mercy of external forces. The book provides a comprehensive account of this complex and bloody conflict, making it an essential read for those seeking to understand the intricacies of Rhodesian history. With 562 pages of detailed narrative, this book offers a nuanced exploration of one of Africa's most significant conflicts.
