| "A brilliant story that thrills and inspires you." |
James R. Peters - Author
Dawn of Deliverance
The story is powerful, fast paced and inspired by the experiences of the author.
You will live the challenges of the war, empathize with Jamie's wife while he is in
the forefront of the battle. You will learn why winning the hearts and minds of the
people is so important. Your heart will pound, you will cry as you read about the
terrorist atrocities, you will sigh with relief and the ending will inspire you.
Terrorists of Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe African National Union have seized
control of the Honde Valley, and the Prime Minister is in a quandary. The war is
escalating on three fronts and the situation in the Honde Valley has deteriorated. Is
it possible to make one last-ditch effort to regain the Honde; or should he simply
rewrite the borders and concede the Honde to Mugabe?
In James R. Peters' new book Dawn of Deliverance, (published by iUniverse) we
learn the story of Jamie Ross, a District Commissioner, who accepts an
assignment to win back the Honde. Jamie sets out a strategy to win the hearts and
minds of the people by relocating them into seven protected villages. Meantime,
terrorist leader Josiah Makoni is taken from his village, indoctrinated as a Marxist
guerilla, and then orchestrates brutal attacks against tribal leaders, white farmers
and finally the massacre of 12 missionaries at Elim Mission School. With the
occupation of the first of the protected villages Josiah realizes that to retain
control of the Honde and its vital access routes he must first kill Jamie Ross and
destroy his spirit. But, God apparently has another plan.

the war in Rhodesia, and
his writing is fast paced
and crisp. But in the end,
his purpose is clear - unity
and compassion are
essential in the throes of
war"

terrorist conflicts of the 1970s, author James Peters writes from his
