I think three points of alliteration should be enough. Does anyone have any suggestions for reading for the history of Rhodesia? I am particularly interested in it's history in the past 100 years. |

Check out "30 degrees south", book company out of south Africa. |

"So Far and No Further" by JRT Wood is a great read on the 1955-1965 period in Northern Rhodesia, Rhodesia and Nyasaland. |

"A Matter of Weeks Rather than Months", again by JRT Wood. |

There is also a book called 'The Wellensky Papers', all about the attempts to create a Central African Federation and the subsequent collapse and UDI. All three of these are pretty detailed about 1955-1970 politics.
30 degrees south and galagos are pretty good publishers on these. |

I'd start with Frontiers by Mostert. |
