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 'The impressive number and quality of these local level studies, many part of larger works, add to existing conflicting and consensual claims about the war and its aftermath, making a review of a now sizeable literature timely.' - Norma Kriger in Journal of African History 'Like Volume I, this volume is a milestone in recording the history of the liberation war...The revelation of the horrors is a part of the balm that heals the wounds of both the victim and the perpetrator. They set direction for future writers on the painful genesis of Zimbabwe.' - Charles Pfukwa in the Independent Weekender
