Mukiwa: A White Boy in Africa Book

In Mukiwa: A White Boy in Africa, Peter Godwin, a journalist for the London Sunday Times, recalls his privileged childhood growing up in white-ruled Rhodesia, his unwitting participation in the savage status quo and his later efforts to support a black-ruled Zimbabwe. After being drafted by the army to suppress black unrest, he escaped to England and attended university.

Later, as a journalist, he witnessed not only the government's massacres of ethnic minorities but the gradual settlement into peace.Read More
