Andrew Meldrum, paperback, new.

The extraordinary story of how a young journalist arrived in Zimbabwe full of hope, and twenty years later came to be illegally deported as an Enemy of the State !

In this book Meldrum describes what it is like to live through this period of hope and tragedy: how hundreds of people lined up in a church basement to tell him of the horrific Matabeleland massacres: how he once hid in a cupboard from Mugabe's thugs: how Mugabe later grabbed him as he challenged him about human rights: how he was harassed, arrested, imprisoned and tried.
