Under the Skin-The Death of White Rhodesia....It is an epic account of the bitter rearguard action staged by white Rhodesia in its desperate bid to prevent the emergence of black majority rule. The book provides both a narrative of events from 1976 to 1980 and a portrait of a racial elite fighting to protect its privileged position. David Caute describes a 'collective state of mind and more particularily the extraordinary mental manoeuvres by which pillage is termed responsible government,repression becomes law and order, usurpation is aclled authority, violence is lauded as restraint',
Combining a historian's power of analysis with a journalist's eyewitness reporting of events and a novelists sense of detail, Caute brings to life politicians, soldiers, farmers,businessmen and housewives, exploring the feelings ot outrage experienced by conquerors when dispossessed natives attempt to recover by force what was so recently siized by force...
