Format:Hardcover
I think the book should be a compulsorily study for
all students of history and English. The travels, the observations, the odd metaphor and simile make
for easy reading when the subject is gruesome.
Although the work covers much of European history,
present and past this is used as a mirror to place
Robert Mugabe in perspective
