Zimbabwe's ruling party is currently experiencing its most intense economic and political challenge in its 20-year history. This book, written in an easy-to-read journalistic style, charts these troubled times.
It takes the reader inside Robert Mugabe's party, ZANU-PF, and the oppositional Movement for Democratic Change. The author has met with members of both parties who have been prepared to talk candidly with him, giving him behind-the-scenes information.
The book considers the role of critics and observers - the role and treatment of the press within Zimbabwe, and the often contradictory responses to Mugabe from the international community. It also looks at the lives of ordinary Zimbabweans living in a collapsing economy. Finally, it considers Zimbabwe's future - the challenge that lies ahead
to rebuild the country.
