Foreword
Everyone may not know that immediately following our declaration of Independence on 11th
November, 1965, the British Government under Prime Minister Harold
Wilson subjected this country to a propaganda campaign of lies and
distortion which has not been experienced since the time of that arch
hypocrite and lair Dr. Gobbels in World War ll.
Not only was Mr. Harold Wilson not
content to take over the British Broadcasting Corporation for this
purpose, but his Government erected a special transmitter in
Bechuanaland and with the assistance of the Zambia broadcasting system
has attempted by means of this concentrated evil propaganda and by the
savage trade sanctions imposed by him, to bring Rhodesia to its knees
merely to enforce majority rule and destroy a responsible Government
elected in terms of a constitution which ensures equal treatment for all
races.
It therefore gives me great pleasure to
write this foreword because Mr. Edwards has produced a book which
contains a factual account, supported by copies of official documents of
events leading up to declaration of independence and the events which
followed immediately thereafter. For this reason I trust it will have a
wide circulation so that as many as possible will know why it was
necessary for Rhodesia to take the step vital to its sovereign
independence.
I would like to commend this book to
anyone who is interested in the Rhodesian scene. Our friends are legion -
this book will show them and others the justice of our cause.
