Morgan Tsvangirai's dramatic political battle with Zimbabwe's dictatorial monolith Robert Mugabe stands as one of the most intriguing and important world events of recent times--this is his autobiography From village life as the son of a humble carpenter to struggling for power with Mugabe as the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe, this is Morgan Tsvangirai's amazing story. Once an avid supporter of Mugabe's party Zanu-PF, Tsvangirai grew to detest their violence and oppression, leading him to found the Movement for Democratic Change. Tsvangirai deployed basic but effective tools of national resistance with clear vision and exceptional courage, despite multiple arrests and severe beatings. His successful formation of a coalition government kept alive Zimbabwe's hopes of peace and democracy, establishing Tsvangirai as a luminary in a continent all too often known for bloody leadership.
Morgan Tsvangirai was nominated for the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize and is the first non-lawyer recipient of The 2009 International Bar Association human rights award International Lifetime Achievement Award 2009 from the Spanish Foundation Cristobal Gabarron. As his personal assistant, advisor, and spokesperson, T. William Bango spent 23 years in journalism which took him as an aide to Robert Mugabe, a founding editor for the banned "Daily News," and a Masters in journalism from University of Cardiff, and a three-year stint as a journalism lecturer at the Institute for Advancement of Journalism. He has recently completed a sabbatical to complete an MPA from Harvard University in Cambridge, MA.
