Dead
Leaves: Two Years in the Rhodesian War
by Dan
Wylie
Synopsis
It is January 1979. Groups of nervous, dutiful white conscripts begin
their National Service with Rhodesia's security forces. Ian Smith's minority
regime is in its dying days and negotiations towards majority rule are
already under way. For these inexperienced eighteen-year-olds, there is
nothing to do but go on fighting, hold the line while the transition happens
around them. This is a textured memoir in which an ordinary troopie grapples
with unique dilemmas presented by an extraordinary period in history: the
spectres of inner violence and death; the pressurised arrival of manhood;
and the place of conscience, friendship and beauty in the pervasive atmosphere
of futile warfare.

Mukiwa : A White Boy in Africa
by Peter Godwin
Peter Godwin grew up in Rhodesia during the end of white rule. While
his Rhodesians Never Die is a historical account of that time, Mukiwa
is a more personal narrative--a testament to Africa and a memoir as seen
through the eyes of a child becoming a young man amidst civil war. Spanning
1964-1982, from when Godwin was a boy of six in Rhodesia to when he returned
to Zimbabwe as a journalist covering the bloody transition back to black
rule, Godwin personalizes a difficult era in South African history with
clarity, intelligence, humor, empathy, and sharp prose. Amazon.com
