- Bitter Harvest (2001 book)
"Bitter Harvest" is a 2001 book by Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith. It is a follow-up to "The Great Betrayal". The book was also reprinted in May 2008 after Smith's death the previous year.
In this book, Smith sought to explain the reasons why his government declared its UDI, and how Rhodesia coped in the face of sanctions and terrorism until the pressures forced him and his government to accede to the wishes of his adversaries. Smith points to the current chaotic situation in Zimbabwe as proof that he was trying to prevent Rhodesia from suffering the same fate as other African states.
"Bitter Harvest" is published by Blakes Publishing (London) ISBN 1-903402-05-0
