The book explores the tumultuous events following Ian Smith's 1965 unilateral declaration of independence in Southern Rhodesia, which led to a violent guerrilla war. It highlights the stark racial dynamics, with a small white minority ruling over a large African majority, mirroring the apartheid system in South Africa. The conflict resulted in significant loss of life and reflects the broader themes of colonialism, resistance, and the struggle for independence in the region.
