Contact 2 Struggle for Peace (Signed)

📘 Contact II: Struggle for Peace in Southern Africa Paul Moorcraft (1988)

First Edition Signed Copy

Fresh from our Mutare (formerly Umtali) supply drop, this rare volume comes directly from our specialist colonial collections with a focus on Southern African military and transitional history.

In Contact II, renowned war correspondent and historian Paul Moorcraft delivers a detailed and compelling account of the final stages of the Rhodesian Bush War, the emergence of Zimbabwe-Rhodesia, and the broader regional conflicts that shaped Southern Africas modern political landscape. From the battlefields of Angola and South West Africa to the internal unrest of apartheid-era South Africa, this work is grounded in first-hand interviews and battlefield experience. It stands as an essential record of a turbulent and deeply human chapter of history.

Condition:

Preserved in the tropical climate of its native theatre, this copy shows only the lightest atmospheric signs of age. No damage, only character. The spine features bold, gold-stamped titling in a clean, military-style typeface, while the front cover bears the shumba, golden, resplendent and unblemished, a proud emblem of the era. A truly fabulous example, rarely seen so well preserved.

Offered as part of a serious historical collection.

We do not celebrate war. We aim to commemorate and memorialise struggle, suffering, and those who met it with hard work and fortitude. This title is presented in that spirit, to preserve, to reflect, and to respect the lives marked by conflict.

A powerful and increasingly scarce volume, especially in signed first edition. A standout piece for any serious Rhodesiana or African conflict collection.
