Despite their being hamstrung by the US and British economic sanctions they had amazing success on the battlefield. In the end they were defeated politically by 2 countries thought to be Allies. Mugabe proved to be nothing but a criminal which anyone from Rhodesia or S.A. could have clearly pointed out in the 1970's. The Whites had their land stolen and received nothing in return and Mugabe's cronies profited on the inevitable corruption that comes along once the Colonial Administration and political apparatus was dismantled (White rule). Does anyone care to share a success story in this regard? As I thought, there are none.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452934040756873011.post-79377132646296795482013-11-20T19:16:31.406-08:002013-11-20T19:16:31.406-08:00Rhodesia was sold out by the UK and the USA.

Carter. <br />The Soviets supplied the African Communists and trained Mugabe. <br />Rhodesians were some damned fine troops (White and Black), but they were outnumbered and starved of supplies for decades. Free men and civilized men crushed under an iron boot, and the breadbasket of Africa became a big broke food importer.
