"Cry Zimbabwe tells how Robert Mugabe and his ZANU-PF came to political power in Zimbabwe in 1980 after British and Commonwealth supervised elections.  Acclaimed by the British Government and others as "free and fair", in reality, the process was a sham.  It has been seriously flawed by a murderous campaign of intimidation conducted against the black population by the political commissars of ZANLA-ZANU-PF's military wing.  Having got away with it in 1980, Mugabe repeated these brutal tactics in the 1985, 1990 and 1995 election campaigns... "

..."The book tells how Mugabe vengefully launched invasions of squatters led by ex-ZANLA "War Veterans" onto white-owned farms.  They embarked on a campaign of murder, rape, beatings, torture and intimidation, combined with a forced political 're-education' programme...."

An important story out of Africa.
