Book Reviews of A Decade in Rhodesia

Book Review: Strange Book
Summary: 1 Stars

Very short, poorly written (was there no editor?) book. The writing style is very uneven but most often approximates what one would expect for a children's book. However, in places, the subject matter is clearly not intended for children (references to childhood sexual abuse). For adults, there are much better books about growing up as a white child in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). See for example, Andrew Meldrum's "Where we Have Hope" or Peter Godwin's "Mukiwa."
