“Chilling…A document that should be read by anyone interested in the sacrifices that people are willing to make for the sake of democracy…Not only is The Fear a valuable work of testimony—filled with firsthand accounts of witnesses to the most horrific crimes—but it is also a haunting testament to those survivors’ courage and determination.”

Born in what's now called Zimbabwe, journalist Peter Godwin returns to his homeland in 2008 after three decades of Robert Mugabe's brutal economic and human destruction. Hoping to "dance on Mugabe's political grave" in the wake of the tyrant's defeat at the polls, Godwin instead risks his life to secretly chronicle Mugabe's ruthless backlash of torture and terror locals call "The Fear." ". heart-wrenching and extremely moving."-Kirkus Reviews
