David Martin & Phyllis Johnson

Synopsis

The book is premised on the claim from David Martin and Phyllis Johnson that they stumbled on the assassin of Herbert Chitepo. It starts with a brief history of the late National Chairman of the Zimbabwe African National Union, his contribution in mapping out a successful strategy for mobilization and radicalization.

Review

The book is fascinating reading, and convincing as fiction. More than four-fifths of it is repetition of the contents in The Struggle for Zimbabwe: the Chimurenga war by David Martin and Phyllis Johnson. - Masipula Sithole, The Journal of Modern African Studies
