Reviews
Africa correspondent for the Washington Times who grew up in different countries of southern Africa, including Zimbabwe, Hill gives a detailed account of the overthrow of the white-controlled government when the country was known as Rhodesia by indigenous black rebels and the subsequent cementing of the autocratic, often brutal rule of Robert Mugabe. Mugabe was one of the leaders of the insurrection and political leader of Zimbabwe (as the country was named after the end of white rule). To a large extent, this is the story of the murky circumstances whereby Mugabe became leader of the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU), including the assassination of its leader, and its role in helping to keep him in power. Instead of a bona fide political party in a democratic system, ZANU became the enforcement arm of Mugabe's one-man rule. Hill's chronicle of unfortunate Zimbabwe and biographical portrayal of its autocratic leader is a set piece in how things have gone wrong in many countries in Africa.--Midwest Book Review "What's really going on in Zimbabwe? To know, you need direct experience of events on the ground, an understanding of the country and its history, and access to the opinions of government, the opposition and ordinary Zimbabweans. Seasoned journalist Geoff Hill provides this, and more, in The Battle for Zimbabwe, an insightful, comprehensive and fascinating account of this extraordinary country. A lively narrative of Zimbabwe's history paves the way for understanding the present situation in a nation once hailed as an African success story. In a blow-by-blow report on the events of recent years, the author takes us behind the scenes in the governing ZANU-PF party, the land invasions, the presidential elections, the massacre of thousands of Zimbabweans, and the enriching of the ruling elite. In interviews with ordinary citizens of Zimbabwe, ZANU-PF members, opposition supporters, torture victims and exiles, a picture emerges of a country torn apart by its violent past, its oppressed present and its uncertain future. While politicians in Africa, Washington and London debate a political solution to the problems of Zimbabwe, its people face poverty, starvation and hardship. Dissenters are tortured, imprisoned or forced to flee for their lives; more than three million Zimbabweans are living in exile. Yet shining through the gripping, often harrowing narrative, is the Zimbabwean people's abiding love for their beautiful but tormented land. In the deadly battle for the future, it is their story that is told here. Thoroughly researched and boldly written, The Battle for Zimbabwe is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand one of the world's great modern tragedies ... and what it will take to rebuild the nation." allafrica.com

Synopsis
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., Geoff Hill takes the reader inside Robert Mugabe's party, ZANU-PF, and the opposition 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.
