Zimbabwe is a country both blessed & cursed. Arriving to work at the British Embassy in Zimbabwe, Philip Barclay found a temperate paradise & a sophisticated & charming population. But during a three-year stay in what used to be Africa's finest country, he saw it ruined by violence & grotesque economic mismanagement. Philip Barclay was at the centre of the tumultuous events of 2008. Zimbabwe's people voted against Robert Mugabe, but their desire for change was denied as vicious squads of indoctrinated youths loyal to the ageing dictator launched a campaign of murder, rape, & destruction. In the wake of such terror, the country's economy & public services collapsed, leading to widespread poverty & epidemics of diseases that Zimbabwe had not seen in living memory. This electrifying account records the violent excesses of a hated clique prepared to do anything to cling to power. It asks why the world stood by & watched as Zimbabwe burned & questions whether power-sharing between Robert Mugabe & Morgan Tsvangirai offers the way forward which the country needs. An honest account of a diplomat's confrontation with a brutal dictatorship, Zimbabwe is also a personal story of the resilience
- despite their daily experience of despair & death
- of Zimbabwe's people.
