Description
Signed copies available from September 2010
Sports book meets real-life thriller in this sensational autobiography of Henry Olonga, the former Zimbabwean cricketer whose black armband protest against Robert Mugabe at the 2003 Cricket World Cup saw him branded a traitor, sentenced to death in his absence and forced to dramatically flee his homeland and his family.
Blood, Sweat and Treason tells the story of Olonga's childhood, of his gradual realisation that he was living in a country ruled by a dictator, of his battle to reach the top as a black cricketer and, ultimately, how he sacrificed that position to do something that he hoped would make a difference.
