Abstract:

This is just one account of the many atrocities that took place between 1980 and 1988 in Matabeleland and the Midlands, where an estimated 20 000 people died under the terror of Robert Mugabe and his army. It includes a forward by His Grace Pius Ncube, Archbishop of Bulawayo, and an introduction by Elinor Sisulu. This is a vital piece of literature on African affairs.
