Returning Without Questions
Returning Without Questions They came a little closer to me one odd evening, I recall. Despite its simplicity, the relationship had an odd depth. There was a kind of connection between them that spoke before words, the language of their eyes—even when they were silent in front of each other, they understood each other.

Just How Effective Were Rhodesian Guerrillas?
Rhodesia, a country that is now divided into Zimbabwe and Zambia, with many people today only knowing of its existence as a result of Leonardo DiCaprio's cutthroat character in the 2006 film, Blood Diamond. One thing that you aren't able to learn from the movie, is the 15 year long civil war that tore apart the country's Southern region (present day Zimbabwe.) The Rhodesian Bush War was the result of a multitude of complex political factors, most notably the majority white government declaring independence from Britain without any kind of consent from the crown in 1965, as the South of Rhodesia was a self-governing colony since 1923.
