Lessons From the Rhodesian Bush War is not a conventional history-it's a focused, hard-edged study of what happens when a nation is cut off, surrounded, and forced to fight a war with limited men, limited resources, and no margin for error. Rhodesia's bitter bush war offers more than military lessons; it's a case study in rural defense, community survival, and the slow-motion unraveling of a society under siege.

Written with the clarity and grit demanded by today's preparedness-minded readers, this book explores the tactics, gear, and lived experiences of Rhodesian security forces and civilians alike. It examines how farmers defended themselves, how the military adapted to asymmetric counterinsurgency warfare, and how a small country held out for over a decade against overwhelming political and numerical odds before being undone not by defeat in the field, but by international betrayal and internal exhaustion.

Whether you're a survivalist looking for lessons in real-world collapse to prepare for SHTF, a student of irregular/guerilla warfare, or simply curious about one of the most misunderstood conflicts of the 20th century, this book will challenge your assumptions and deepen your understanding. The fight may have been lost, but the lessons remain. Rhodesians never die.
