My Summary of Zimbabwe: Years of Hope and Despair... →
I got sick of reading books then forgetting everything I read as soon as I closed the book. So I’m attempting to write a bit of summary of each book when I’ve read it along with a few thoughts of my own. This one is a summary of Philip Barclay’s book covering the 2008 election in Zimbabwe.
