Blood sweat and Treason - Henry Olonga
PRE ORDER now and recieve a FREE Aurelia download.
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 World Cup saw him branded a traitor, accused of treason 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.
Henry Olonga put his life at risk, but he got the chance to make a new life in England. In this incredible book he tells his extraordinary story in pin-point detail, leaving nothing to the imagination.

Apparently I get a mention here the door is open even to me they say.Unlikely that I would be interested to be fair – I am enjoying the other pursuits in my life and the body has all but told me to never consider that sort of punishment again – but I wish everyone in Zim cricket all the best.Zimbabwe deserves to be better placed in the world of cricket.Shame that there are issues that detract from it.
