Written in the style of a contemporary political thriller, this book tells the unpublished story of the incredible operation that brought to an end one of the longest running dictatorships in the world. Surreal, strange, sinister but often very funny, Two Weeks in November is a ripping account of both Zimbabwes chequered and difficult past and its uncertain future.
Written in the style of a contemporary political thriller, this book tells the unpublished story of the incredible operation that brought to an end one of the longest running dictatorships in the world - an Oceans Eleven style collaboration between politicians, generals, dissidents and exiles, an unlikely crew of sworn enemies, who found themselves swept together in pursuit of a common goal. Douglas Rogers spent his youth and early adult life watching his parents struggle to make ends meet under Mugabe. He thought he would never see the day when the dictators iron grip on the country would come unstuck. Surreal, strange, sinister but often very funny, Two Weeks in November is a ripping account of both Zimbabwes chequered and difficult past and its uncertain future.
