On March 18, 1975, Herbert Chitepo, an African nationalist in
exile and chairman of the war council that struggled to liberate
Zimbabwe from white-ruled Rhodesia, was killed by a car bomb. Since
then, there have been four confessions and at least as many
accusations about who was responsible. In The Assassination of
Herbert Chitepo, Luise White does not set out to resolve questions
about who was accountable for this horrible murder. Instead, in a
style that is as much murder mystery as it is history writing, she
uncovers what is at stake in the various confessions and why
Chitepo s assassination continues to incite conflict and
controversy in Zimbabwe s national politics. White casts doubt on
official accounts of the murder and addresses how and for whom
history is written and how myths and ideas about civic culture were
founded in war-torn Zimbabwe. Although the truth about the
assassination of Herbert Chitepo may never be known, readers will
discover how one man s murder continues to unsettle Zimbabwe."
