Undoing the united front?: Coloured soldiers in RhodesiaFootnote1

It would be more accurate to talk about Southern Rhodesia (1890s–1969), Rhodesia (1970–1978) and Zimbabwe Rhodesia (1979). My use of Rhodesia is a stylistic short‐hand rather than a plot to erase Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) or deny the existence of Muzorewa's short‐lived compromise government.

1939–1980
