Journalist Peter Godwin has covered wars. As a soldier, he's fought
them. But nothing prepared him for the surreal mix of desperation
and hope he encountered when he returned to Zimbabwe, his broken
homeland. Godwin arrived as Robert Mugabe, the country's dictator
for 30 years, has finally lost an election. Mugabe's tenure has
left Zimbabwe with the world's highest rate of inflation and the
shortest life span. Instead of conceding power, Mugabe launched a
brutal campaign of terror against his own citizens. With foreign
correspondents banned, and he himself there illegally, Godwin was
one of the few observers to bear witness to this period the locals
call The Fear. He saw torture bases and the burning villages but
was most awed as an observer of not only simple acts of kindness
but also churchmen and diplomats putting their own lives on the
line to try to stop the carnage. The Fear is a book about the
astonishing courage and resilience of a people, armed with nothing
but a desire to be free, who challenged a violent dictatorship. It
is also the deeply personal and ultimately uplifting story of a man
trying to make sense of the country he can't recognize as home.
