When a Crocodile Eats the Sun: A Memoir of Africa by Peter Godwin

4.0

Was this book better because I was traveling in Zambia while I was reading it? Or is it just an interesting, well-written memoir? I might never know, but it was revelatory and intriguing and thought provoking. I don't know much about the effects of colonialism, fighting for independence and political corruption in Africa, but Godwin's story gives a glimpse into this other world.
