This book relates Rhodesia’s history right up to Lancaster House in 1979 and the ‘free and fair’ elections that foisted the Marxist Robert Mugabe on the country. The author has skilfully threaded in the many often larger-than-life personalities who shaped Rhodesia’s destiny from Rhodes, Leander Starr Jameson, and King Lobengula, to Garfield Todd, Joshua Nkomo, Robert Mugabe and Ian Smith.","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67670376153387,"sku":"17364","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/militaryhistorybooks.com\/products\/rhodesia-last-outpost-of-the-british-empire-1890-1980","provider":"Military History Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
