Mukiwa : A White Boy in Africa

Rating:
Summary: Read Carefully
Review: This review is basically to counter the one negative review on this page. Nowhere in this book did I get a sense that Godwin was trying to rationalize or "candy-coat" life in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. I saw Godwin give a lecture once, and he is definitely not an apologist for Europeans living in Zimbabwe or Africa.
This is a great memoir and a balanced account on a conflict which suffers from a dearth of available (and inexpensive!)literature. Most of the accounts available of the war period are either hardcore communist, or hardcore pro-European. This one lauds neither absolutely.

Review: This was a great read. It gave me a good insight into Africa--where I will soon be moving with my family.
