The fall of Robert Mugabe and the inauguration of Emmerson Mnangagwa as Zimbabwe's new president in November 2017 were events that no one could have predicted. Just three weeks earlier, Mugabe had sacked Mnangagwa as vice-president, a move that seemd to end the long political career of the man known as "the Crocodile". "In the Jaws of the Crocodile" tells the gripping story of how Mnangagwa fled Zimbabwe in fear for his life, and of his brief exile in South Africa, where he declared to Mugabe that he would return "in a matter of weeks" to take control of the levers of power. It describes the military intervention against Mugabe and his allies, analyses the sudden power shift within Zanu-PF, and gives and eyewitness account of the mass demonstrations as people took to the streets to demand an end to Mugabe's rule. It describes Mnangagwe's return to Zimbabwe to take over the presidency, and concludes with an account of the disputed 2018 election. Drawing on interviews with Mnangagwa, his family, allies and opponents, and key political figures, this book gives unprecedented insights into the momentous events that changed the fate of a nation. - Back cover. 600 10 $a Mnangagwa, E.
