REVIEW:
'These volumes provide signposts for researchers to begin to ask new questions about the events of the wars' - Diana Jeater in Journal of African History 'The two volumes represent the most important critical collection of work thus far published on the liberation struggle in Zimbabwe. The range of the sutdies provides an impressive overview of the complex responses of various social forces to the liberation war...' - Brian Raftopoulos in Journal of Southern African Studies '...a brief but valuable collection...' - Basil Davidson in The Times Higher Education Supplement 'This work is an important landmark in the history of Zimbabwe's independence war and it will provide an important focus for not only military, social and economic historians, but also non-specialist readers with an interest in this fascinating conflict and its immediate aftermath.' - Edmund Yorke, Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst in The Journal of Commonwealth & Comparative Politics
