Product Description
This book is about the contradictions and infighting that went on in the Zimbabwe liberation movement from 1957 to independence in l980. The focus is on ZAPU, ZANU, FROLIZI, ANC/UANC, and the Zimbabwe Patriotic Front (ZPF), as well as the part played by the Frontline States in these contradictions.
