Rhodesian Perspective

(London: Michael Joseph, 1967). 8vo; original blue boards, lettered in silver gilt on spine; dustwrapper; endpaper map; pp. 184, incl. index; tables; large, folding map. Dustwrapper a bit rubbed and edgeworn; earlier owner's name signed on half-title; occasional fox spot. Good to very good condition. "The first and major portion of this book consists of a factual account of some of the more important political, social and economic developments in Britain's colony of Southern Rhodesia from the time of the first European occupation to the present day. ... The book collates much of the kind of factual material which used to appear regularly in the Salisbury journal, the Central African Examiner, before it ceased publication. UDI and the censorship imposed under the Emergency regulations in November, 1965, resulted in the Examiner's December issue being heavily cut - about half the material submitted for censorship was banned." .
