Rhodesia, 1964: a small boy witnesses the death of his neighbor, murdered by guerrillas - it is the beginning of the end of White rule in Africa. In Mukiwa, Peter Godwin, the witness to that murder, has written "a classic of its genre" (Sunday Telegraph), a vivid and moving account of growing up in a colony rapidly collapsing into chaos.

In unforgettable tales of innocence lost under African skies, we follow Godwin's awakening to the often savage struggle between Whites and Blacks, his horror when he is forced to fight in a civil war he detests, and his experiences as a journalist covering the country's violent transition to Black rule as Rhodesia's colonial era comes to an end and the new state of Zimbabwe is born from its bloody ashes. Mukiwa is a poignant, compelling memoir and an invaluable addition to the literature of southern Africa.

This brought back old memories growing up as a kid in Kenya. Just like the author it now seems like so far away. And a way of life that does not exist anymore.

having read several books about this time and country, lived in SA and visited Zim and Zambia and talked to people there, I have found Peter Godwin's book one of the best accounts of the civil war in former Rodesia : it is a well-written and captivating book, a mix of personal memoir, history book and thriller. Listening to it read by the author was even better for me than reading the printed version of the book some years ago. This author's books never disappoint.

gives a good insight into life in Rodesia between the 1960s and 80s
