Description
Born in Zimbabwe, Douglas Rogers grew up in a country undergoing significant change. His life took an unexpected turn when he left his homeland for Europe and the United States, seeking adventure and excitement. However, his return to Zimbabwe was marked by turmoil, as President Robert Mugabe's violent program aimed to reclaim land from white-owned farms. This event had a profound impact on Rogers' family, forcing them to confront the harsh realities of their situation. The Last Resort is a true story that recounts one family's experience in a country under siege. It is a testament to the human spirit, highlighting themes of love, perseverance, and resilience. The narrative is both thrilling and heartbreaking, with moments of absurd humor that add depth to the story. This book offers a unique perspective on Zimbabwe's complex history and the challenges faced by those affected by the land reform program.
