For the oldest race in the world, the Africans bring the best and worst out on show. This book an important one. It shows the depth of human depravity, avarice juxtaposing with the heights of en devour and struggle for survival. Mugabe is making a fool of the civilized world by breaking all rules of democracy. I would argue that if there was any real threat to democracy, it comes from 'democrats' like Robert Mugabe. Why the world is quiet in the face of such blatant and systematic mockery of all known rules of chivalry and good governance is beyond me. The only reason which makes sense is that Mugabe's Zimbabwe has little to offer in international business as it was for all intents a country relying on agri-economy. Otherwise why would the very White western civilized countries keep ignoring the torture meted out on all the whites of Zimbabwe?
The book was pretty readable as the author somehow managed to keep the interest alive by keeping the chapters short. otherwise for someone with little local knowledge it would have proven to be a difficult read.
