description: Call it Rhodesia...or Zimbabwe? Empire-building wasn't for the respectable or the faint-hearted; and Alexander Strang was neither. In a land of giants and legends, he carved out his own empire, and became a legend in his own lifetime. His family, his dynasty, followed in his footsteps. And as their wealth and power grew, so too did the hatred of the people of the Na-Kalanga. Conflict was inevitable. The time had to come when black confronted white, when the ownership of the country had to be settled, when the answer had to be found to the ultimate question: Whose land-Rhodesia? The story of the Strang and the Na-Kalanga was the story of Rhodesia in microcosm. The fighting, the loving, the bitter passions. From pioneer days to U.D.I. From conflict to conflict.
