4.0 out of 5 stars chronicles from the colonies, 5 Jun 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Against the Grain: Memoirs of a Zimbabwean Newsman (Paperback)
Geoff is a great old friend of mine and he has done justice to the cause of black history in this brief personal account. Africa is short of its own history and this is a must-read along with the works of great men like Mandela , alan Paton and Trevor Huddlestone.

5.0 out of 5 stars GEOFF NYAROTA - THE DOYEN OF ZIMBABWEAN JOURNALISM, 4 Aug 2008
This review is from: Against the Grain: Memoirs of a Zimbabwean Newsman (Paperback)
Geoff Nyarota is what I would term the doyen of Zimbabwean Journalism,a brilliant, perceptive, investigative Journalist, he certainly occupies a place in the hall of fame and annals of Zimbabwe's Media history.Obviously, my eulogising Nyarota is not shared by the Zimbabwean authorities, especially when they go through Nyarota's latest offering: Against The Grain - Memoirs of a Zimbabwean Newsman.I found the text intensely poignant and absorbing.An epic piece of work,I was dazzled and mesmerised right from the onset upto the last page. A must-read for anyone who loves Zimbabwe. Cry the beloved country!
