In 1981 the dustcover read: For twenty years Robert Mugabe has been typecast as an extremist; a colourless Marxist-Leninist ideologue and a fanatical guerilla leader. Now in his fifties, with the bitter experience of political imprisonment behind him, he represents a long sought-after reconciliation of a nation-and a continent- that has been many years in the making. Mugabe was the last person the British, Americans, and even the Russians, expected or wanted to be Prime Minister of Zimbabwe. His victory in that country's first democratic elections came as a surprise to, and terrified, his opponents. This is a look a Mugabe as he came into power. An interesting look at the man before he became the monster he is today. USED - Very Good condition.
