If only they had been nicer to the blacks, rhodesia-zimbabwe would be a wonderful thing.Willbur Smith (himself a Rhodesian) wrote a series of novels about the country some of which are set during the Bush war.

A country with segregated ethnic minority clearly ruling an ethnic majority either economically or politically will never work out, just ask the Chinese in Indonesia, or Tutsi in Rwanda, sooner or later because "success breeds jealousy" the majority will turn against the minorities as a whole, even if the ruling class is just a fraction of said ethnic minorities.

Seemed to work a lot better than Mugabe's communist terrorist regime that suffered mass inflation, famines and caused humanitarian disasters in all surrounding nations.
I'm gonna get me a FAL and paint it puke green and baby shit yellow one day.

Yep, recommend this one. Won't give you the big picture of it, but a good read nonetheless.
