Description

In 2008, memoirist and journalist Peter Godwin secretly returned to his native Zimbabwe after its notoriously tyrannical leader, Robert Mugabe, lost an election. The verdict used to be severely risky–foreign journalists had been banned to stop the arena from seeing a corrupt leader’s refusal to cede power. Zimbabweans have named this era, simply, The Fear.

Godwin bears witness to the torture bases, the burning villages, the opposition leaders in hiding, the last white farmers, and the churchmen and diplomats putting their very own lives at the line to forestall the carnage. Told with a super eye for detail, THE FEAR is a stunning personal account of a other folks laid waste by a despot and, armed with nothing but a desire to be free, their astonishing courage and resilience.
