In the memoirs of white soldiers fighting to defend white minority rule in Africa, White finds a robust and contentious conversation about race, difference, and the war itself.

“Fought as much across shifting battlelines as it has been over publication deadlines over the years, Rhodesia’s bush war has long been shrouded in white segregationist make-believe and African nationalist mythmaking. With characteristic brilliance, Luise White takes us past these frayed but tangled lines and asks a series of pointed questions: What was Rhodesian about this conflict? […] and what, ultimately was this war about? Did the white men who fought for a country called Rhodesia and the whites on whose behalf these men went to war believe that they could win? If they did not, what, then, did they fight for? […] Fighting and Writing offers salutary lessons about how to write about war without falling for the self-serving stories that soldiers like to tell. More than that, the book helps us understand why the Rhodesian War has been as much about weapons as it has been about words and what the difference is between the two.”
