Description
"This book is a smasher. The opening movements are possibly the hottest non-fiction I have ever read. Spies, assassins and audacious plots fomenting under our unsuspecting noses. The fall of Robert Mugabe was orchestrated from Sandton? Douglas Rogers has to be kidding. But he isnt." -- Rian Malan. "This is Ocean's 11 meets Game of Thrones: a real-world life or death chess match for the future of a country where the political endgame is never a foregone conclusion." -- Justin Webb, BBC Radio 4 Today Program "This account of the fall of Zimbabwes president reads like a thriller laced with dark humour." -- Gina Godwin, The Times UK "A clear and convincing telling of a wild tale. Rogers' honesty as a transparent author is refreshing, a reminder of Tom Wolfes new journalism. A thrill ride! -- Dalton Delan, Executive VP and Chief Programming Officer, WETA, Washington
