"The '96 Rebellions, originally published as The British South Africa Company Reports on the Native Disturbances in Rhodesia, 1896-97".

Rhodesiana Reprint Library - Silver Series (Volume Two in the Series).

Facsimile reproduction of the 1898 Reports with a new Foreword, maps and illustrations.

The reports published here in facsimile and re-titled The '96 Rebellions, were some-what hurriedly put together and they tell only the Company's side of the story. Inevitably, therefore they are neither comprehensive nor wholly accurate. Nevertheless because much of the text is devoted to first-hand accounts of the fighting , of patrols, escapes and rescues, they have that flavour of drama and immediacy which a later and more considered analysis could not have captured.
