Product Overview
Kevin Woods was sentenced to death in Zimbabwe and later jailed for life by Robert Mugabe. For more than five years of his detention he was held in the shadow of Mugabes gallows, cut off from the world, naked and in solitary confinement. He had been a senior member of Mugabes dreaded Central Intelligence Organization, the CIO, and was jailed for committing politically motivated offenses, on behalf of the white South African government, against the ANC in Zimbabwe.
From Mugabes confidant to condemned prisoner he recounts his life on the edge, as a double agent. He explains the desolation of being abandoned by South Africa when he was compromised and he details his lone fight to maintain his humanity, self-dignity and sanity in a prison system that belongs to the Middle Ages.
This book will inspire you to take an introspective look at your own life, your careers, your aspirations and ambitions. His story, unlike so many others has a happy ending with him hugging his now-adult children and meeting former President Nelson Mandela being the highlights.
