1973 first edition hardcover with dust jacket and 164 pages in good condition.
The story of the Mazoe Patrol is not only an important part of Rhodesias history but an epic account of mans .determination to survive in the face of overwhelming odds. Unlike the earlier Shangani Patrol, there were survivors who lived to tell the tale. Geoffrey Bonds masterly reconstruction of the incident and of the events that led to the rebellion in 1896 is a vivid portrayal.
Captain Nesbitt received the Victoria Cross for his leadership and though this award was well deserved, it seems unfortunate that the courage of both the survivors and those who lost their lives was not more publicly recognised at the time.
