Publisher's Synopsis
This anthology of short war stories from eye-witnesses gives an incite into war experiences from opposing sides in the Rhodesian-Zimbabwe conflict from 1965 to 1980.It is conservatively estimated that during and immediately post this Zimbabwe war/Chimurenga claimed well over 50,000 lives, albeit mainly civilians. It is not uncommon for combatants to mix up times and places - especially when events occurred so very long ago - albeit those specific events did indeed occur.It remains a fact of life that ZIPRA and ZANLA clashed more amongst themselves and claimed more lives, than ZIPRA plus ZANLA versus the RSF - Rhodesian Security Forces. Death notices testify to that fact.The author estimates that it will take another generation of historians to remove or correct biases still very evident in latter-day tales.
