3 The author himself shows his awareness of the the significance of the regional context within which the Zimbabwe struggle is taking place by devoting a considerable amount of space to a discussion of South Africa's role in Rhodesia.

4 In a debate in the Rhodesian parliament reported in The Oberver (London) on February 26, 1978, an African member of parliament read excerpts from a leaflet distributed by the government in the Maranke Tribal Trust Land near the Mozambique border. The leaflet announced the imposition of a curfew lasting from dusk to midday. All vehicles, including bicycles and buses, were barred from entering or operating in the area. Any person found on high ground by the security forces would be shot. The regulations were to apply to any African 16 years of age and over. The news report also spoke of the widespread use of torture by the Rhodesian military.
