Counter-Insurgency in Rhodesia (RLE: Terrorism and Insurgency) Routledge Library Editions: Terrorism and Insurgency Series

When originally published in 1985 this volume was the first scholarly and objective contribution available on Rhodesian counter-insurgency. It documents and explains why Rhodesia lost the war. The origins of the conflict are reviewed; each chapter examines a separate institution or counter-insurgency strategy directly related to the development of the conflict, concluding with a summary view of the Rhodesian security situation both past and present.
