Abstract

This article explores recent events in Zimbabwe, the violence and intimidation that marred the 2002 presidential elections and the war Robert Mugabe, the country's president since independence in 1980, waged against whoever was opposed to or challenged his leadership - especially white farmers and journalists - in the run-up to the crucial polls.
