Mozambique: The Tortuous Road to Democracy

By Cabrita, Joao M. Cabrita, Jooao M Cabrita, et al.

Book Overview

Mozambique's civil war was inevitable given the tradition of conflict that had always characterized Frelimo, first as an independence movement, and then as a ruling party. Without disregarding the role played by both Rhodesia and South Africa in the war--in fact providing new and detailed information about it--João Cabrita guides the reader through Frelimo's early days and gives a clear understanding of the pattern of internal dissent, persecution and physical elimination of members and opponents that remained the organization's hallmark.
