Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the influence of racial policies implemented by the white minority governments of Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa during the Cold War era, specifically from the 1960s to the 1980s. It highlights how these policies hindered military effectiveness against nationalist guerrillas and ultimately contributed to the decolonization of Southern Africa. The narrative positions Rhodesia and South Africa as bastions of 'western civilization' and examines their military strategies, revealing how racial ideologies undermined their capacity to combat liberation movements.
