Title:The Last Resort: A Memoir of Zimbabwe Author: Douglas Rogers Publisher: Jonathan Ball Publishers (2009) ISBN-13: 9781868423620 Condition: Very Good, Slight rubbing on the corners Binding: Soft Cover Pages: 312 Dimensions: 23.3 x 15.2 x 2.0 cm +++ by  Douglas Rogers +++ Thrilling, heartbreaking, and, at times, absurdly funny, The Last Resort is a remarkable true story about one family in a country under siege and a testament to the love, perseverance, and resilience of the human spirit. Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Douglas Rogers is the son of white farmers living through that country's long and tense transition from postcolonial rule. He escaped the dull future mapped out for him by his parents for one of adventure and excitement in Europe and the United States. But when Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe launched his violent program to reclaim white-owned land and Rogers's parents were caught in the cross fire, everything changed... The Last Resort is an inspiring, coming-of-age tale about home, love, hope, responsibility, and redemption. An edgy, roller-coaster adventure, it is also a deeply moving story about how to survive a corrupt Third World dictatorship with a little innovation, humor, bribery, and brothel management.
