First published in 1996 and given a welcome new outing by Picador, Mukiwa - White Man - is possibly the best memoir you'll ever read. Peter Godwin is one of the founding presenters of the BBC's flagship foreign affairs programme, Correspondent. Godwin was born in Zimbabwe, or Rhodesia as it was then, and this is the story of its bloody and painful transition to independence, from the time Ian Smith declared UDI to the atrocities committed by Robert Mugabe. There were terrible times and no-one emerges unscathed.
