Why Rhodesia Lost the Bush War with Voodoo 6
About this episode
In this episode, Will and Voodoo discuss the history of the Rhodesian Bush War and how strategic mistakes turned a successful tactical effort into a lost war. They discuss the three main stages of the war, how Rhodesian tactics developed throughout, and why the Rhodesians ultimately lost despite winning every battle. They also discuss what Rhodesia's weaknesses were, when the war could have been won, and how missed opportunities led to their ultimate defeat.
