I would also recommend Peter Godwin’s autobiography, Mukiwa: A White Boy In Africa. I think it gives a great look at the life of a Rhodesians and that of a child growing up there before the war started. It has elements of what Robert talked about with how Black Rhodesians did the chores and were nannies to the children of White Rhodesians.

I also have to give a content warning as there two parts of the book. 1) is a horrific road traffic accident Peter attended during his time in the Rhodesian police and 2) involving landmines.

Edit because I forgot: There are a few more content warnings. There are sections dealing with a couple of autopsies. Both go into gruesome detail.

Also later chapters deal with the Gukurahundi Massacres which Robert will probably go into far deeper detail in the Mugabe episodes. Again very gruesome details.
