Rhodesia Accuses: A Study of Power, Inequality and the Struggle for Freedom

"In these pages I ask you — you people of the United Kingdom, you people of the older Dominions, you people of the United States of America, you people of Europe — and the respective governments of each one of you... are you not, perhaps, even as I write, not guilty and contemplating yet, the perpetration of that final treason: the unconscious furthering of the ends of evil in the name of all that is most holy?"

That is the question asked in this book. — Is it a question that the West can afford to ignore?

Rhodesia Accuses: A Study of Power, Inequality and the Struggle for Freedom

This book remains essential reading for anyone who:

• Wishes to understand the historical Rhodesian point of view.
• Recognizes, in Rhodesia’s ordeal, a warning for nations confronting:
  • Marxian ideology,
  • Cultural degeneration, and
  • The surrender of law, liberty, and civilization to revolutionary forces.

About the Author

A. J. A. Peck, the son of a Rhodesian farmer and now a solicitor, was born in 1922 at Fort Victoria. He went to school in Fort Victoria and in Gwelo, studied Law and English Literature at Rhodes University, and Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oriel College, Oxford.

Politically, the author has consistently advocated a policy of moderation. In the Rhodesian General Election of 1962, he stood as a candidate for the United Federal Party. He again opposed the present governing party in the General Election of May 1965, this time as an Independent.

The author is both a Rhodesian and, most essentially, fair-minded and a realist in his political outlook. The perusal of this book is a "must" for any overseas reader who wishes to understand the attitude.
