Description

Author: Charles D. Melson

Reviewed by Charles G. Thomas, associate professor of comparative studies, Air University Global College

The struggle for Rhodesia, otherwise known as the Bush War, centered on the decolonization of Rhodesia and involved ugly racial dynamics. The reviewer sees this work as “as comprehensive and critical as a single volume may be about Rhodesia’s military during the Bush War.”
