How Emmerson Mnangagwa Blindsided Robert Mugabe and Grabbed Zimbabwe - The Genesis - Paperback

This book is a first-hand account of the plots and sub-plots, that started way back in the early 1980s, by Emmerson Mnangagwa which eventually led to him unseating President Robert Mugabe through a military coup in November 2017. That development was disastrous for Zimbabwe in a multi-dimensional way and can be compared to a dark cloud covering the sun like a devastating storm. Many people in Zimbabwe now face economic, political and social conditions far worse than under Mugabe.
Mnangagwa used the political positions of utmost trust that he occupied under the rule of Robert Mugabe to place people loyal to him in key positions so they would cooperate and assist him in executing an undemocratic takeover of power from Mugabe. Mnangagwa had lost a series of elections and had realized that he could not win free and fair elections in Zimbabwe, yet he had a burning desire to rule Zimbabwe. The plots he started in the 1980s were meant to ultimately get him into power through undemocratic means.
The book is written by Lovemore Mukandi in the form of his autobiography to reveal how he gained access to the information. He served in the Central Intelligence Organization (CIO) for 18 years in various capacities, culminating in his appointment by Mugabe to the position of Deputy Director General of the CIO. In this capacity and in other roles he had direct private access to Mugabe and interacted with Mnangagwa and other senior security and defense officials, hence this first-hand account.
This book contains valuable factual information that is not in the public domain and that is very useful to fill the gaps in existing accounts of the history of Zimbabwe.
