Compare Guerrilla Veterans in Post-war Zimbabwe by Norma J. Kriger, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This critical examination of post-war of independence peace settlement and veterans' programs is the first extended study of the complicit relationship between the ruling party and the veterans. It shows continuities in the relationship between President Mugabe's government and guerrilla veterans in the first seven years in contemporary Zimbabwe (1980-1987). As the recent election has demonstrated, Mugabe and the veterans continue to collaborate, using violence and liberation war rhetoric to maintain power through land invasions and political purges. | Guerrilla Veterans in Post-war Zimbabwe by Norma J.
