Contact II

In Contact II, Moorcraft continues exploring the tumultuous and often brutal history of Rhodesia during the Rhodesian Bush War (1964–1979). This sequel offers a deeper look into the conflict, shedding light on the complex military, political, and social dynamics at play during the war. The book follows the development of the conflict from the perspectives of both the Rhodesian government forces and the insurgents fighting for independence, further delving into the human cost of the war and the intense combat that defined it.

While Contact: Rhodesia at War introduced the history and key players of the war, Contact II provides more detailed accounts of the tactics, strategies, and operations used by both sides. It also examines the psychological and emotional impact of the war on the soldiers involved, as well as the broader implications of the conflict on Southern Africa’s future.

Moorcraft’s detailed research, combined with his ability to bring history to life, makes Contact II a vital read for those interested in this pivotal period in African history.
