`The fear of the title was Mugabe’s reign of terror after he had been defeated by Zimbabwe’s electorate, a defeat that he decided not to accept. The courage of those who resisted him was impressive indeed, while Peter Godwin, a Zimbabwean himself, showed a great deal of bravery in staying to report the situation. It’s a situation that Godwin brings to chilling life in a book that’s full of menace, and not only Mugabe’s. Not for bedtime reading.’ –Sunday Telegraph
