"This is the follow-up to the very successful Contact, although the new book, Contact II, can also stand in its own right as a chronicle of the Rhodesian war. The second volume is not intended to be a blow-by-blow account of the war nor a detailed analysis of each unit of the Security Forces. It is instead a pictorial overview of what the war has meant to all in the recently-named Zimbabwe.

Together the two volumes constitute the most comprehensive record of the fighting forces of Rhodesia. They are a poignant symbol of the country's brave and noble heritage. Yet in certain respects the tone of the sequel differs from its predecessor. This is fitting for times have changed. Yesterday is literally another country and the uncertain tomorrow beckons to this war-weary land. Yet whatever the future does hold for this beautiful but hurt country readers can still pick up this book and proudly recall Rhodesia's struggle for peace."
