Description: OUTPOST STORIES OF THE RHODESIAN POLICE BOOKS OF AFRICA: CAPE TOWN 1970 First edition. A miscellany of stories taken from the pages of the Force regimental magazine 'Outpost' which, under its original title of 'The Police Review', was first published in Bulawayo during March 1911. Spanning the years, from the Pioneer Column to anti-terrorist operations in the late 1960s, the selected stories of the Police of Rhodesia portray not only the life of the earlier policeman in contrast with that of his 'modern' counterpart, but also provide an insight into the general conditions under which they lived and worked.
