An intimate account of one family's astonishing bravery in the face
of brutality, as well as perhaps the outside world's only real
glimpse of what it is like to live inside the terror of Mugabe's
Zimbabwe Ben Freeth has an extraordinary story to tell. Like that
of many white farmers, his family's land was "reclaimed" by
Mugabe's government for redistribution--but Ben's family fought
back. Appealing to international law, they instigated a suit
against Mugabe's government in the SADC, the Southern African
equivalent of NATO. The case was deferred time and again while
Mugabe's men applied political pressure to have the case thrown
out. But after Freeth and his parents-in-law were abducted and
beaten within inches of death in 2008, the SADC deemed any further
delay to be an obstruction of justice. The case was heard, and
successful on all counts. But the story doesn't end there--in 2009,
the family farm was burned to the ground. The fight for justice in
Zimbabwe is far from over; this book is for anyone who wants to see
into the heart of one of today's hardest places, and how human
dignity flourishes even in the most adverse circumstances.
