In this incisive and revealing book, Richard Bourne shows how a country that had every prospect of success when it achieved independence became a brutal police state less than thirty years later, plagued by hyperinflation and collapsing life expectancy and abandoned by a third of its citizens. Beginning with the British conquest and covering events up to the present precarious political situation, Catastrophe is the most comprehensive, up-to-date and readable account of the ongoing crisis in Zimbabwe. Bourne shows that Zimbabwe's tragedy is not just about Mugabe's 'evil' but about history, Africa today and the world's attitudes towards it."--Page [4] of book cover. 606 $aPolitics & government$2bicssc 607 $aZimbabwe$xPolitics and government$y1980- 607 $aZimbabwe$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aZimbabwe$xEconomic policy 607 $aZimbabwe$xEconomic conditions 615 7$aPolitics & government 676 $a968.91051 700 $aBourne$b Richard$f1940-$01086927 801 0$bN 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789642703321 996 $aCatastrophe$93732010 997 $aUNINA
