The Rhodesian government turned their national struggle into a cause celebre for the racist right wing worldwide, with interviews focused on the perceived failure of the U.S. to stop communism from getting a foothold in Africa. Soldier of Fortune published a series of articles promoting this alliance, highlighting Rhodesia as an ideal land with the potential for white people to improve the lives of Africans.
