This much bigger book by the same author as the 'A Brief History 1947-1980' includes much of the same material and photographs but updated with new information, to the year 2001, many new photographs and much detail about the role the South African Air Force, South African Police played in Rhodesia up to 'black' Independence. The author has had contact with many who were involved with Rhodesia at that time, details various sanctions busting deals that he has managed to find out about and has relied on other sources/books for some of the content.
