Mugabe-Liberator To Dictator

Synopsis

My Grandad has recently published his book titled “From Liberator to Dictator: An Insider’s Account of Robert Mugabe’s Descent into Tyranny”

In the book, he writes us a personal account of the unravelling of Zimbabwe.
An insider who was prepared to keep faith with Robert Mugabe until it was almost too late; Michael Auret served for many years on Zimbabwe’s respected Catholic Commission of Justice and Peace, which worked tirelessly to defend human rights in that country. In this absorbing memoir, he traces his involvement in the politics of his country, from his days as an opposition MP in Ian Smith’s Rhodesia to his involvement with the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) and his election as MP for Harare Central in the brutal election of 2000. Grandpa’s key position as an insider makes this is a fascinating and timely account of the internal politics of Zimbabwe.

Well Done Grandpa!
