Bitter Harvest: Zimbabwe and the Aftermath of its Independence

Having lived in Zimbabwe in the mid 2000s for two years, I have honestly seen the true side effects of the Failed State called Zimbabwe! black Africans did not benefit from evil Mugabe's government fro over 40 years, they suffered. White Africans whose ancestors lived in Africa for centuries were always blamed. Southern Rhodesia was a British Colony, yet the UK refused to grant independence to them, despite doing so for every other territory in Africa they ruled, so the Rhodesian government tried to get a deal, which failed, so they just declared independence in 1965 instead and so we're put under sanctions by the UK and others and the black nationalist terrorists started a bush war. Both the Rhodesian Government and the Black Nationalist Groups were both to blame for killings, theft and disruption throughout the 1970s. They should of compromised and worked together to create racial unity, peace and stability. yet they didn't! The failed state of Zimbabwe from 1980 is the result!

Ian Smith wasn't neutral,he was an anemy to the majority of Zimbabwe (blacks) only the minority (white) loved him because of the system they use to oppress blacks.what ever he said in that book is his only side of his story.hope he mentioned all the murders,tortures and disappearances which took place during the war.I can post pictures of his inhumane treatment of black Zimbabweans during his defence to keep Rhodesia alive.

Great book
