Rhodesia, 1964: a small boy witnesses the death of his neighbor, murdered by guerrillas - it is the beginning of the end of White rule in Africa. In Mukiwa, Peter Godwin, the witness to that murder, has written "a classic of its genre" (Sunday Telegraph), a vivid and moving account of growing up in a colony rapidly collapsing into chaos.

In unforgettable tales of innocence lost under African skies, we follow Godwin's awakening to the often savage struggle between Whites and Blacks, his horror when he is forced to fight in a civil war he detests, and his experiences as a journalist covering the country's violent transition to Black rule as Rhodesia's colonial era comes to an end and the new state of Zimbabwe is born from its bloody ashes. Mukiwa is a poignant, compelling memoir and an invaluable addition to the literature of southern Africa.

I really enjoyed the book but as a South African and knowing many Rhodesians who were living in Rodesia in the era Peter talks about in his book, the listen was sad and horrifying at times as well as funny and eye opening. I too could identify with so much of the era. Too emotional and close to home.

Rhodesia may have been a short lived country, but its history still fascinates me. Listening to Peter Godwin tell his story of growing up in the country and experiencing the UDI and the war that followed as seen through his eyes makes it feels as if I was there with him.

A compassionate story
