MUGABE'S LEGACY, coups, conspiracies, and the conceits of power in Zimbabwe

295pp., paperback, London, 2022

"Moore’s deft and dramatic political history of Mugabe’s rise and humiliating fall unpacks a tragic and continuing Animal Farm legacy. Comprehensive in its treatment of Zimbabwe’s major political events and actors, this is an intriguing and timely read.: NoViolet Bulawayo, author of We Need New Names and Glory. 

"By far the best account I’ve ever read of the processes and events in and around Zimbabwe over the past 40 years. A most formidable work of scholarship and a sordid and sorry tale. This is Moore at the top of his game!" Ian Phimister, Senior Research Professor, University of the Free State

David Moore is Professor of Development Studies at the University of Johannesburg.
