Under 'Acknowledgements' the author states:

I am eternally grateful to the veterans of the Rhodesian Army and Rhodesian African Rifles, many of whom I had the privilege of meeting during the course of this study. These are remarkable men whose hospitality, openness and honesty were tremendous. I only hope this work is adequate representation of a worthy and noble regiment.
In reply and on behalf of my brother officers and men who the author sought out in the UK and in South Africa (where they now reside) in order to conduct the research necessary to do the subject justice a debt of gratitude is owed to this young professional officer in his search for the truth about our little war and through his objective presentation of the facts.
