African Tears The Zimbabwe Land Invasions

Softcover, Johannesburg, South Africa: Conway Maritime Press Ltd, 2001. Fine. "African Tears is the story of a white farmer in Zimbabwe, living side by side with war verterans for 7 months. The veterans claimed the small 1000-acre farm belonged to their ancestors. For 7 months they watched and intimidated, claiming the farm field by field, 'liberating' the small stock dams and the timber plantation. They broke us eventually, crippled us psychologically and drove us to the brink of bankruptcy..They slaughtered one of our oxen, felled over 3000 gum trees and burnt the entire farm to the ground." --from the front flap. One result of Mugabe's policy: Zimbabwe which used to export food, now can't feed itself. Ships same or next business day. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 243 pages. [Item #64666]
