Ian Smith, Rhodesia's former Prime Minister, is a man with the power to excite powerful emotions in all who hear his name. To those who revere him he is a hero, a mighty leader, a man whose formidable integrity led him into head-to-head confrontation with the Labour Government of Great Britain in the 1960s. To others he is a demon, a reactionary whose intransigence long delayed majority rule in an important corner of Africa. The truth, as this autobiography reveals, lies somewhere between these two extremes.
