White Man, Black War by Bruce Moore-King 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". WHITE MAN, BLACK WAR looks to the future with a very strong message for all former Rhodesians, and for their scattered sons and sympathisers. Book is in very good condition.
