Once Upon a White Man - war and peace in Rhodesia and Zimbabwe. This book provides intriguing insights into the dilemma faced by African-born whites trapped by modern political revolution. The author's carefree youth is replaced by the perils of combat when he becomes entangled in the front-line of Rhodesia's vicious 1970's bush war. Wounded, he is airlifted to safety just as a deal is struck that will end white rule and give birth to Zimbabwe. However, the new nation struggles to embrace democracy and before long Robert Mugabe is dragging the place back into chaos. With his homeland again in flames, Graham now races desperately to save his family from ruin. Review: "The author's attention to detail is as good as that of any best-selling autobiography. He remembers things that both racists and leftists would rather forget-- the culture of humiliation and violence that made Rhodesia unsustainable, and the ugly silence of world opinion that made it possible for Mugabe to get away with genocide and ethnic cleansing. Even though I've never been to Africa, this book tore me from my political views and made me think seriously about the goals of humanity" (Avery Morrow)
