Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe was an African leader who
sharply divides opinion. As a man and leader he has come to embody
the contradictions of his country's history and political culture.
As a symbol of African liberation he remains respected and revered
by many on the African continent, but this heroic status contrasts
sharply, in the eyes of his detractors, with repeated cycles of
gross human rights violations, capital flight, and mass emigration
precipitated by the policies of his government and his demonic
image in Western media. In this timely biography intended for a
general audience, Sue Onslow and Martin Plaut explain Mugabe's
formative experiences as a child and young man; his role as an
admired Afro-nationalist leader in the struggle against white
settler rule; and his evolution into a political manipulator and
survivalist. They also address the emergence of political
opposition to his leadership and the uneasy period of coalition
government. Ultimately, they reveal the complexity of the man who
led Zimbabwe for its first four decades of independence.
