Bitter Harvest The Great Betrayal

Ian Smith was a man with the ability to excite powerful emotions in all who heard his name. To those who still revere his memory he was a hero, a mighty leader, a man whose formidable integrity led him into head-to-head confrontation with the Labour Government of Britain in the 1960s. To others, he was, and remains, a demon, a reactionary whose intrasigence long delayed majority rule in an important corner of Africa. In this revealing and important historical document, Ian Smith charts the rise and fall of a once-great nation.

Ian Smith was Prime Minister of Rhodesia from April 1964 until April 1979. He continued to farm in Zimbabwe, maintaining a keen interest in politics, until his death on 20 November 2007.
