Rhodesian Dawn, Zimbabwe Darkness (14/14 people found this helpful)
An emotional tragedy that has had to be written. The tales surrounding the birth and death of this nation, its people and rich resources are positively portrayed in simplicity. From the birth of Rhodesia to a wounded and festering Zimbabwe, the changing circumstance of every citizen has dealt a jarring, shattering blow to traditions, life and honour. The world looks on, and passes by. The people of Zimbabwe observe silently as all world leaders determine to assure that terrorism will never be beaten. The brilliance, strength and determination of that dying tribe of Rhodesians is possibly about to be buried.
The stories move fast; events have been well detailed and include the rigours of emotional war and passions of ordinary people. This is an excellent tale of colonial reality as experienced at roots. The sequel "Zimbabwe Darkness, the Enemy Within" must become essential reading for every passionate member of civilised leadership.
The experiences and emotions of the author are portrayed light heartedly, sometimes with humour and blood in the same sentence. The plot is a well structured documentation of reality.
Informative. Well written. Entertaining. An excellent first time Novel from an author that will surely become internationally recognised.
