THIS IS A SERIES OF TALES, MOSTLY IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, ABOUT THE SHORT RHODESIAN COLONIAL PERIOD UP TO 1980, AFTER WHICH TIME THE COUNTRY BECAME ZIMBABWE. THE TALES IN THE BOOK HAVE VERY LITTLE POLITICAL CONTENT AND ARE NOT A CRITIQUE ON COLONIALISM OR POST-COLONIALISM. THEY SHOW THE LIVES AND FEELINGS OF 'ORDINARY PEOPLE' AFFECTED BY THE 'WINDS OF CHANGE' IN AFRICA, WHICH WERE PREDICTED BY BRITISH PRIME MINISTER HAROLD MACMILLAN IN HIS FAMOUS SPEECH IN FEBRUARY 1960 IN THE CAPE TOWN PARLIAMENT. THE RAPID CHANGES IN AFRICA WERE CAUGHT UP IN THE INITIAL STAGES AT THE END OF COLONIALISM IN AFRICA AFTER WORLD WAR TWO. MANY OF THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED POST-COLONIAL REGIMES BEGAN THEIR OPERATIONS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE HARSH REALITIES OF MARXIST-LENINISM AND OTHER FORMS OF TOTALITARIANISM - AND MANY OF THOSE COUNTRIES STILL FOLLOW THEIR VERSIONS OF THE 'REVOLUTION' - WITH VARYING DEGREES OF SUCCESS. FROM A LOST LAND IS NOT A BIOGRAPHY, BUT MANY OF THE TALES ARE BASED ON ONE EXTENDED FAMILY. EACH TALE PROVIDES A LINK TO FOLLOWING TALES, NOT NECESSARILY IN THE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING TALE. SOME OF THESE 'LINKS' ARE NAMES BUT SOME REFER TO ARTEFACTS WHICH STILL EXIST IN FAMILIES OF THOSE MENTIONED IN THE TALES.

The Last Rhodesian Soldiers is a story written about a conflict that took place in Rhodesia. A few of the events are based on facts which took place. It tells of the comradery of two soldiers--one white and one black--and a terrorist and his hate for these two men. A chapter has been devoted to a mounted infantry unit--Grey's Scouts--in which the author's husband served as the riding master, leaving with the rank of captain in 1983.

This book is based on our lives. It starts very briefly in the United Kingdom and quickly moves to the Eastern Highland of Rhodesia. It moves through our childhood while we’re living in the eastern border areas, Umtali, Sabi Tanganda, and Chipinga. As we pass through our teenage years and become adults, it travels with us to Western Australia and then back to Chipinga. We share the lives of others as the Rhodesian Bush War escalates in what was a quiet and idyllic country town to one of the most dangerous and deadly districts in Rhodesia. Then the books deals with our final move back to Western Australia and our struggle to once again build a life for our children and ourselves. To most people, this may seem to be an unusual life, but to a Rhodesian, it would be considered pretty much the same story as many other families. Although it is our story, there are many stories told by others who have shared our way of life. It is about love, hate, and humor. It is about determination and desperation. It is about life and death and friendship and community spirit. Most of all, I hope it is a monument to those who died or were seriously injured, physically or mentally, black or white. It is also a salute to those incredible farmers, the Rhodesian armed forces, and those who worked in the rural areas during those troubled times. For me personally, writing this book has been a huge emotional journey.

In the years leading up to Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence in 1965, its small and transient white population was balanced precariously atop a large and fast-growing African population. This unstable political demography was set against the backdrop of continent-wide decolonisation and a parallel rise in African nationalism within Rhodesia. "The Collapse of Rhodesia" provides a controversial reexamination of the final decades of white minority rule. Josiah Brownell argues that racial population demographics and the pressures they produced were a pervasive, but hidden, force behind many of Rhodesia's most dramatic political events, including UDI. He concludes that the UDI rebellion eventually failed because the state was unable to successfully redress white Rhodesia's fundamental demographic weaknesses. By addressing this vital demographic component of the multifaceted conflict, this book is an important contribution to the historiography of the last years of white rule in Rhodesia.

A Brutal State of Affairs analyses the transition from Rhodesia to Zimbabwe and challenges Rhodesian mythology. The story of the BSAP, where white and black officers were forced into a situation not of their own making, is critically examined. The liberation war in Rhodesia might never have happened but for the ascendency of the Rhodesian Front, prevailing racist attitudes, and the rise of white nationalists who thought their cause just. Blinded by nationalist fervour and the reassuring words of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and army commanders, the Smith government disregarded the advice of its intelligence services to reach a settlement before it was too late. By 1979, the Rhodesians were staring into the abyss, and the war was drawing to a close. Salisbury was virtually encircled, and guerrilla numbers continued to grow. A Brutal State of Affairs examines the Rhodesian legacy, the remarkable parallels of history, and suggests that Smiths Rhodesian template for rule has, in many instances, been assiduously applied by Mugabe and his successors.

Contact 1 has been out of print since the late 1970s, despite the constant demand to reprint it. Now there is the chance for a new generation to read this iconic book. Contact 1 was conceived by College Press, in what was then Salisbury, Rhodesia, the rebel British colony. John Lovett was an expert medal collector who had served in the Royal Air Force, and later in the 'A' Reserve of the British South Africa Police. Contact 1 covers the war from its beginnings when UDI - the Unilateral Declaration of Independence - was announced on 11 November 1965. But no government ever recognized Rhodesia, not even South Africa, then under apartheid rule. Initially, the war consisted of relatively minor skirmishes. In 1972, the conflict began in earnest. From 1972 to 1976, the war was largely a stalemate. After 1976, the conflict became much more widespread and intense, until by the end of 1979 the whole country was engulfed in fighting. 'Contact 1' considers the period 1965-1976. The sequel, Contact 2, by Paul Moorcraft, describes the most intense period of the war, the last three years. Together they provide an unrivalled photographic history of the war, as well as the complete record of decorations and the roll of honor from 1965-1980. Over seventy-five percent of those who fought in the Rhodesian security forces were blacks - the struggle was then couched largely in Cold-War terms as a battle against Soviet- and Chinese-inspired communism, not African nationalism. Both those surviving from the war and their sons, daughters and grandchildren, as well as military experts and enthusiasts who did not experience the war, will enjoy re-living those tumultuous times. 'Contact 1' is written in a confident style, in the middle of a war, which white Rhodesians believed they could not lose. In retrospect, it might appear naïve propaganda, but that is a perspective from the hindsight of over three decades. Setting aside moral issues - and there were many atrocities on both sides - the Rhodesian military fought with great skill, bravery and determination - against heavy odds. Military staff colleges throughout the world study the campaign for lessons in counter-insurgency at the tactical and operational levels. Strategically, the war could not have been won without massive intervention from the West and South Africa. By 1979, the war was lost. And by accident the most conservative prime minister in recent British history, Margaret Thatcher, contributed to the first electoral success of a Marxist leader in Africa: Robert Mugabe. Zimbabwe was born. 'Contact 1' provides an enthralling insight into a British colony that rebelled against the Crown and tried to preserve white rule in a country in which it was outnumbered 25:1. It was an argument with history as well as arithmetic. At the time, however, many whites believed that Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith would find a way out of the diplomatic and military impasse. This is a passionate study of a lost war, and yet to many Rhodesians it was the time of their lives, despite the tragedies. It was a time of madness but almost all fought for what they believed was right - to defend their families, their culture, their muscular Christianity and their country. Now that country is but a memory.
