- Description:
- This is a study of the Canadian Government’s response to and policy towards Rhodesia, 1963-1966, as it moved from a British colony to a Unilateral Declaration of Independence and the status of international outlaw. Canada balanced its position between the Old and New Commonwealth, keeping the British informed of African opinion and helping the Africans to get their viewpoint across to the British. The primary aim of this study is to provide a first full account of official thinking and decision making with reference to Rhodesia, and to do so by extensively reviewing governmental files both in Canada and Britain.
