5/2/11: The Fear

Robert Mugabe
Robert Mugabe

By Doug Fabrizio

Salt Lake City, Utah – When journalist Peter Godwin returned to his native Zimbabwe in 2008, he says it was "to dance on Robert Mugabe's political grave." Mugabe had been the country's dictator for three decades, and he had finally lost an election. But Mugabe didn't step down, and Godwin became one of the few correspondents to witness the terror campaign and the heroic acts of resistance that followed. Monday, Peter Godwin joins Doug to talk about his book "The Fear: Robert Mugabe and the Martyrdom of Zimbabwe."
