Description: Zimbabwe's party - internal 'coup of 2017, and deposed president Robert Mugabe's death nearly two years later demand careful historically nuanced explanation. How did Mugabe gain and retain power over party and state for four decades? Did the suspected and nearly real 'coups' the conspiracies behind them and their concurrent mythomaniacal conceits ultimately ironically spell his near - tragic end? Has Mugabe's particular mode of power reached a finality with his own downfall as his successors struggle more to balance Zimbabwe's political contradictions? Will the phalanxes arrayed against Mugabe's control fray further as Zimbabwe fades? Mugabe's Legacy delves deeply into such questions drawing on more than forty years of archival and interview - based research on Zimbabwe's political history and current precariousness. Starting with the mid - 1970s it traces how Machiavellian moves allowed Mugabe to reach the apex of the Zimbabwe African National Union's already slippery slopes through the complexities of Cold War regional ideological generational inter - and intra - party tensions. The lessons learned by the president and the nascent ruling party then turned gradually inward ultimately arriving at a near - collapse that may now pervade all of the country's political space. David B. Moore vividly charts this rise and fall all the way to Zimbabwe's tenuous chaos today.
