Abstract:Survey and review of recent publications on Rhodesian military history since World War II. The author concludes that 'The prospects for the researcher in the field of recent Rhodesian military history are depressing. Official archives are closed to all but those who will make poor history from them. Although a picture of sorts can be made out for the past three decades of Rhodesian military experience, it is likely that the military history of the post-Second World War era will remain forever in some historical twilight zone'. Notes, tab. listing comparative defence expenditures 1974/77 for Rhodesia, Portugal, South Africa, and Israel.
