A History of Zimbabwe

I am so glad I purchased this book. It is such a rich account of Zimbabwe and Black Persons liberation. The journey is similar to accounts I have read of segregation in USA. It really shows how cruelty seems to be human nature despite race. When I read it, I could already pick up the elements that pointed to the black on black oppression that has persisted in many African Countries post colonisation. Success was actually realised when people came together and ditched negative elements of elitism and segregation even among black. What a rich book that I know I will read over and over

As we will be going to Zimbabwe soon, I wanted to learn more about the history and culture of the country. As it states, this really is the only comprehensive book on it. There are books that cover education, or medicine, or certain time periods. But this one covers it all.That said, it is difficult reading in that it is a text book, not just a non-fiction book. And the print is quite small.But stick with it and you will better understand this country and the vast abuses against it and the incredible odds the people have overcome. With their first election in 38 years without Mugabe in it coming up in a few months, the next chapter is still to be written. Blessings on the people of Zimbabwe as they continue to take back their country and form it into one united nation that benefits and serves all.

This is a well written, comprehensive history of Zimbabwe. It is unusually detailed in its discussion of British colonization, and useful for any courses on that topic. I highly recommend this book.

Excellent book but could really use better section headers.

A great easy read - a very nicely balanced viewpoint of the country's history - highly recommended

Purchased as a gift and the recipient was very pleased with it, it is, as far as he knows, the only book that covers such a wide span of history

It's a very good book, well written with a relatively unbiased view. I'd recommend it for anyone with a thirst for knowledge on Zimbabwean history.
