#1 Just another chapter in the continuing saga of Smith's "Die Groot Verraad" (The Great Betrayal). Notice how none of this makes MSM headlines or sparks even so much as a comment in Washington. I would hope we learn something from all of this with regard to failed foreign political interventions, efforts at "democracy" and native African governance, but I am doubtful.

#2 "If you are British or American you will need a strong stomach to read this book. Indeed you may well want to throw-up at the political chicanery and cowardice of your politicians and diplomats."

.....Carrington ( foreign secretary in Thatcher's new Tory government) advised that such a course would be unacceptable to the OAU (Organisation of African Unity) and that "the principles and standards on which you and I were brought up to believe in, are no longer part of this world."

Quote from a review of The Great Betrayal.
