Mukiwa - A White Boy In Africa

£8.99

Growing up in Rhodesia in the 1960s, Peter Godwin inhabited a magical and frightening world of leopard-hunting, lepers, witch doctors, snakes and forest fires. As an adolescent, he became a conscript caught in the middle of a vicious civil war, and then as an adult who returned to Zimbabwe as a journalist to cover the bloody transition to majority rule, he discovered a land stalked by death and danger.

An incredibly insightful memoir wrote through with nostalgic lament, “Mukiwa” shows Peter Godwin both exhilarated and exhausted by the love of a country that he once fought for and for the war that he eventually lost.
