It wasn't just a personal betrayal but Rhodesia was left on its own too. Even though the UK was right with the NIBMAR policy maybe it could have been played out differently.
Also didn't help that the UK media was biased, but hey that's nothing new under the sun just seeing the same in 2020. The old Thames TV reports are all on Youtube

- perl4ever 6y agoWhy is that book $295.43?
- chrstphrknwtn 6y agoMany people want to buy it, very few people are selling it.
- perl4ever 6y agoI have a different theory for why obscure books are advertised at absurd prices these days - few people want to buy them, but anyone who does, wants that specific book and there is no substitute, so booksellers have figured out that anything that has any value to anyone is optimally priced at hundreds of dollars.
- chrstphrknwtn 6y agoYeah, you're probably correct about the opportunistic pricing of not-so-rare and also not-so-in-demand books. It still seems like supply and demand though, in that supply is close to or less than demand.
