The Silent War

Résumé du livre

"The Silent War is a documentary account of the fight for Southern Africa. The two authors, journalists of high repute, trace the history of terror and intimidation in Rhodesia, South Africa, South West Africa, Mozambique and Angola. Together they have provided the first comprehensive study of the causes and effects which have led to the rise of terrorism in the south of this continent. Each episode described here is fully authentic, and is recounted in a straightforward and unbiased manner. Sir Roy Welensky, once Prime Minister of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, contributes a final chapter forecasting the future of the sub-continent. To Sir Roy, the key to Rhodesia's, and indeed South Africa's, future lies in convincing the African people that their interests would be better served working with, and not against, the white people. The Silent War is certainly the most important book ever published on the conflict in Southern Africa and is produced at a critical time in the development of the sub-continent. It should become prescribed reading for all thinking people in Southern Africa, both black and white. This book serves to remind both the black and white inhabitants of Southern Africa of the many dangers which still lie ahead, and of the need to foster racial harmony and peaceful co-existence" --
