Unbiased writing. September 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have several friends from Zim, so wanted to try to understand what has happened, why Mugabe has acted as he has. Heidi Holland seems to have achieved an explanation, and shows that there's more than one to blame.
Great praise for Holland September 22, 2008
In this book, Holland records her travels from all over Zimbabwe (and the world), and interviews around a dozen people about Mugabe the boy, man and most recently, dictator. There is also a compelling interview with Mugabe himself, showing the lengths he'll go to to defend his policies.
Holland deserves loads of praise for this book, which comes up with reasons as to why Mugabe is the way he is. She completed this often dangerous task, and sheds new light on the African leader.
A great read, highly recommended.
Very Good Effort to be Unbiased and Fair June 4, 2008

I am a white Zimbabwean and I was delighted to have the opportunity to read an unbiased attempt at recording history. I certainly learned a few things and being white does not make me proud. The only consolation is that blacks are no better. But I applaud the author's endeavours and the kindness with which the subject matter is managed regarding the actions of all parties involved.
