Rhodesians never die is the title of a book by Peter Godwin and Ian Hancock. According to its sales pitch: the book is a “story of how White Rhodesians, three-quarters of whom were ill-prepared for revolutionary change, reacted to the ‘terrorist’ war and the onset of black rule in the 1970s. It shows how internal divisions–both old and new–undermined the supposed unity of White Rhodesia, how most Rhodesians begrudgingly accepted the inevitability of black majority rule without adjusting to its implications, and how the self-appointed defenders of Western civilization sometimes adopted uncivilized methods of protecting the ‘Rhodesian way of life.’”
