Bruce Moore-King was a Grey's Scout in the Rhodesian armed forces. WHITE MAN, BLACK WAR is a remarkable account of his experiences on the losing side in Zimbabwe's War of Liberation. Without apology or false sentiment, Moore-King provides the first major attempt by a white Rhodesian soldier to come to terms with his part in the war. WHITE MAN, BLACK WAR is a powerful and courageous account of the blind viciousness of the -bush war and of the private terror, boredom, pain and sometimes passion that accompanied it. Here is the insider's view, for instance, of: - the Collective Village razed to nothing by a troop of young soldiers hurrying home for Christmas; - the confused ambush of "terrorists" which leaves slaughtered a mother and two children; - the torture of a farmhand, spread-eagled upside-down on a bedstead, while the farmer's wife plays John Denver on the hi-fi. Here is the son taking to task the "Elders" who "misled and used us", who "valued the comfort of their life-styles beyond the lives of their own children". WH ITE MAN, BLACK WAR looks to the future with a very strong message for all former Rhodesians, and for their scattered sons and sympathizers.
