Rhodesia: Tactical Victory, Strategic Defeat
From 7 June 1983 Marine Corps Command and Staff College.
"This paper, which describes the guerrilla war in Rhodesia conducted from 1966 to 1980, is divided into four chapters. Chapter I describes the history and background of the country from its establishment at the end of the 19th Century until the Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) from Great Britain in
1965. Chapter II is devoted to an examination of the guerrillas - their leaders, politics, strengths, weaknesses and tactics. The Rhodesian government forces are analyzed in Chapter III, while the final chapter describes major actions of the war, and lessons applicable to future conflicts. Although the
nation is presently called Zimbabwe, this paper will use the name Rhodesia, since this was the official title during the period in question."
