Abstract

Over time a modest, but developing amount of scholarship has emerged investigating the nature of South African military support for Rhodesia. This review article aims to outline what work has been done so far on this topic, and to suggest further avenues for research. It suggests that there is still much work to be done on a whole host of issues surrounding South African involvement in Rhodesia. This extends far beyond the actual deployment of South African personnel to encompass a wide-range of topics which surround South Africa’s decision to aid Rhodesia in its war against the Zimbabwean nationalist guerrillas.
