A caustic and highly emotional account of Zimbabwe under the tyranny of Mugabe's last days In mid-2008, after nearly three decades of increasingly tyrannical rule, Robert Mugabe, the eighty-four-year-old ruler of Zimbabwe, lost an election. But instead of conceding power, he was persuaded to launch a brutal campaign of terror to cower his citizens. 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. Told with Godwin's brilliant eye for detail and natural story-telling gifts, this tale of corruption and violence is punctuated by moments of humour and goodwill, and populated by extraordinary characters whose lives have been shaped by The Fear.
