Rhodesia: A Complete History 1890-1980

Before there was Zimbabwe, there was Rhodesia—a British colony founded by the great capital imperialist Cecil John Rhodes and administered by the British South Africa Company. Rhodesia was the last British territory in Africa, and the most difficult to divest.

This is the story of a gifted land, bitterly contested as the final imperial chapter in Africa. Through war and peace, following the careers of some of the great African leaders of the modern age, this was the last, painful transition from colonial to liberated Africa.

Key Highlights:

• Intricately told story of Rhodesia's history
• Meticulously researched, offering deep insights
• Explores the final transition from colonial rule to liberation
• Features the careers of prominent African leaders

For all enthusiasts of African and British Imperial history, this book is a must-read!
