What the Secret Agent Saw
#Reviews
The authors of this book paint a detailed and dispassionate yet wrenching picture of the painful and bloody transformation of Rhodesia into
Zimbabwe in the period following the white leader Ian Smith’s unilateral declaration of independence from Britain in 1965. Their main gift
to historians is the wealth of information they provide, much of it hitherto unknown outside secret service circles, about how Rhodesia’s
Special Branch, of which the authors themselves were two of the wiliest spooks, helped to keep the forces of African liberation at bay for
so long.
