Nos anos da Guerra Fria, pouco depois de conquistar a sua independência, o Moçambique socialista viu-se confrontado com uma questão espinhosa: a da sabotagem que a Rodésia, de Ian Smith, estava a levar a cabo em território moçambicano, com consequências desastrosas para a segurança de Moçambique. Este estudo, baseado numa perspectiva da história política, foi levado a cabo mediante uma abordagem fundamentada na análise do discurso de documentos americanos que hoje podem ser consultados em arquivos públicos, a partir do Departamento de Estado e da Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). A conclusão a que se chegou é a de que Samora Machel emergiu como protagonista na transição da Rodésia para o Zimbabué, rompendo, parcialmente, com a sua proximidade com o bloco socialista e aproximando-se do bloco anglo-americano para defender interesses nacionais específicos. Essa atitude mostra como, na grande geopolítica mundial, mesmo pequenos países, como Moçambique, podem desempenhar papéis de liderança, ultrapassando blocos ideológicos, que pareciam intransponíveis.
