Lessons From the Rhodesian Bush War: A Study in Survival, Rural Defense, and Collapse

Description:

Lessons From the Rhodesian Bush War is not a conventional history—it’s a focused, hard-edged study of what happens when a nation is cut off, surrounded, and forced to fight a war with limited men, limited resources, and no margin for error. Rhodesia’s bitter bush war offers more than military lessons; it’s a case study in rural defense, community survival, and the slow-motion unraveling of a society under siege.

Written with the clarity and grit demanded by today’s preparedness-minded readers, this book explores the tactics, gear, and lived experiences of Rhodesian security forces and civilians alike. It examines how farmers defended themselves, how the military adapted to asymmetric counterinsurgency warfare, and how a small country held out for over a decade against overwhelming political and numerical odds before being undone not by defeat in the field, but by international betrayal and internal exhaustion.

Whether you’re a survivalist looking for lessons in real-world collapse to prepare for SHTF, a student of irregular/guerilla warfare, or simply curious about one of the most misunderstood conflicts of the 20th century, this book will challenge your assumptions and deepen your understanding. The fight may have been lost, but the lessons remain. Rhodesians never die.

This book could not be released at a better time. The detail and consideration will not let you down. Great deal for how much information you get. Thanks Don!

5.0 out of 5 stars Relevant and information dense.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing

I really wanted to like this book, but the author repeats himself over and over again, page after page, chapter after chapter. Yes, the terrorists struck at night with harassing fire and rarely broke into homes. I’m at page 135 and so far that’s the entire gist of the book, repeated ad nauseam. As another reviewer stated, this has to be AI written.

3.0 out of 5 stars ok but hard to finish it was repetitive

informative but very repetitive and written at a grade 5 level. I'm pretty certain that many chapters were written by AI. I reached out to the author on X to clarify and was met with silence.

This is one of the most well researched books on Rhodesia. Mr Shift has examined the conflict through the lens of SHTF. This is not some quickly churned out pulp, this is a tome of information. It's pairs well with his book on rural defense. If you're a prepared citizen, it's a must read. If you're a history buff, it's a must read.
