ZimEye Media is pleased to host acclaimed author and a former UK diplomat to Zimbabwe Philip Barclay at Leeds Thursday who will be speaking at the Bangladeshi Community Centre in the city before heading to York for another major conference.
Philip Barclay is the author of ‘Zimbabwe: Years of Hope and Despair’, the acclaimed, first hand account of Zimbabwe’s violent 2008 elections.
 
Irish writer and broadcaster Fergal Keane says of the book:
 
‘Very, very good. Barclay’s book is chilling and heartbreaking. He is as far from the diplomat of the ‘old school’ as can be imagined. As a man, and a writer, he is engaged and brave’

‘beautifully written, so informative and moving and at times heart-breaking’
Venue: Bangladeshi Community Centre, Leeds, LS8 5AN
TIME: 1230Hrs – 1400Hrs
DATE: 02 June 2011
ALL WELCOME!
