A Martyr Speaks: Journal of the Late John Alan Coey~John Coey was an American soldier who served in the Rhodesian SAS and Rhodesian Light Infantry during the Bush War in Rhodesia. He was one of a total of 5 Americans killed in action in the Bush War - KIA July 19, 1975 and buried with full military honors in Que Que. John Coey kept a detailed journal during the time he served in Rhodesia and is a poignant look into the life and times of a warrior fighting for a cause he believed in, in a land far from home. John fought in Rhodesia to defend his beliefs in Christian freedom - the Coey family are devout Christians and this is a point of focus in this book. Due to the impending marxist threat, the Coey Family had John's remains relocated to USA in 1979 before Mugabe took power. Complete with photographs taken by John, or his comrades in arms.

A Policeman's Narrative of Witchcraft and Murder in Zimbabwe - Henry A Clark~Covering the 1981 farm murders near Fort Victoria, by members of the newly created Zimbabwe National Army based near that town. This is the chilling account of the beginning of the what then became commonplace in those days; the killing of white farmers by members of the ZNA on instructions from Shiri (Commander of the base), Ushewokunze (Mugabe's Health Minister) and a spirit medium, Nehanda. From researched documents and personal notes taken at the time, all the more frightening for its objectivity.

Anatomy of a Rebel: Smith of Rhodesia : A biography - Peter Joyce~"In Anatomy of a Rebel, Peter Joyce skilfully gives substance to the shadow. He writes revealingly of Smith's own ordinary origins; of the immigrant Scots family into which Smith was born and its place in early Rhodesia's rugged pioneering society; of Smith's childhood and upbringing in the backwater of a small Rhodesian mining town; of his spectacular experiences as an RAF pilot during the Second World War; of his reluctant entry into the political arena; of his swift rise to power after the collapse of Welensky's Central African empire in 1963; and of the acrimonious confrontation with Harold Wilson which led to the final break between Britain and Rhodesia. Thereafter, Anatomy of a Rebel traces the course of Ian Smith's premiership during the most critical years of his country's turbulent history - years which saw the full force of international hostility directed against the rebel state. The protracted sanctions campaign; the 'battle for the soul of Africa', terrorism and guerilla warfare; and Smith's abortive attempts to negotiate an 'honourable settlement' are all described in fluent style and with an objectivity which establishes the book as an authoritative work."
