At the Deep End by Morgan Tsvangirai
Morgan Tsvangirai's dramatic political battle with Zimbabwe's dictatorial monolith Robert Mugabe stands as one of the most intriguing and important world events of recent times--this is his autobiography From village life as the son of a humble carpenter to struggling for power with Mugabe as the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, this is Morgan Tsvangirai's amazing story. Once an avid supporter of Mugabe's party Zanu-PF, Tsvangirai grew to detest their violence and oppression, leading him to found the Movement for Democratic Change. Tsvangirai deployed basic but effective tools of national resistance with clear vision and exceptional courage, despite multiple arrests and severe beatings. His successful formation of a coalition government kept alive Zimbabwe's hopes of peace and democracy, establishing Tsvangirai as a luminary in a continent all too often known for bloody leadership.
"I obviously have extraordinary admiration for the courage and the tenacity that the Prime Minister has shown in navigating through some very difficult political times in Zimbabwe. . . I'm grateful to him for his leadership, for his courage, and I'm looking forward to being a partner with him in the years to come." --President Barack Obama, June 2009
