Surrender

The fight for independence cost 30,000 lives; peace talks ended in disagreement; and up to the last moment the Rhodesian military plotted to keep Robert Mugabe from taking power. Ian Smith, Lord Carrington, Rhodesian commander General Walls, and Andrew Parker-Bowles recall those turbulent times.
