In mid-2008, after thirty years of increasingly tyrannical rule, Robert Mugabe, the eighty-four-year-old ruler of Zimbabwe, met his politburo. Told with Godwin's brilliant eye for character and natural storytelling gifts, this dark story of Africa's corruption and violence is populated by extraordinary characters whose lives have been shaped by the Fear.. Journalist and author Peter Godwin was one of the few observers to slip into the country and bear witness to the terrifying period that Zimbabweans call, simply, the Fear. At considerable risk, he travels widely to see the torture bases, the burned villages, the death squads, the opposition leaders in hiding, the last white farmers, the churchmen and the diplomats putting their own lives on the line to stop the carnage.

So painful . Wish I could give it six stars! Wonderful expose of what is going on in Zimbabwe written by someone who really is knowledgable about the country. Mugabe's reign of terror unfortunately is not getting enough coverage in the U.S. Perhaps this book, if enough people read it, will help to bring some relief to those living under the rule of this dictator.I would also recommend The Last Resort by Douglas Rogers, another Zimbabwe native,
"Peter Godwin's latest book is the most powerful indictment of Robert Mugabe's regime yet written, marking out the author as one of the sharpest observers of modern Africa."-- The Economist
