A MATTER OF WEEKS RATHER THAN MONTHS
The Impasse between Harold Wilson and Ian Smith, Sanctions, Aborted Settlements and War 1965-1969
In this book the author establishes the reasons why Ian Smith defied Britain and declared Rhodesia to be Independent on 11 November 1965. He deals with the dilemma imposed on all sides by Smith's actions. For Smith, the problem was how to legitimize his rebellion, because until he did, Rhodesia would be an international outcast, denied crucial investment capital, markets, trade and more.
For the British, and more particularly their outraged Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, the challenge was how to end the rebellion and force the Rhodesians to accept African majority rule because Britain could not transfer sovereignty until Rhodesia was fully democratic.
A must have for any student of African history.
The title is from a quote by Harold Wilson who stated a solution would be found "In a matter of weeks rather than months". In fact it took 14 ½ years!
