Churchill Mpiyesizwe Guduza's book is indeed a tale of trials and tribulations of an actively involved, highly politically conscious and committed freedom fighter. This book is a rare window of opportunity into the silenced history of ZAPU and ZIPRA, and at the same time an indictment of the liberation movement for its strategic mistakes and political miscalculations. No prisoners are taken as painful events are narrated. The book is as disturbing as it is revealing. Indeed, a priceless gift to political thinking, challenges and visions of liberation.'' - Sabelo J. Ndlovu-Gatsheni, Professor and Chair of Epistemologies of the Global South, University of Bayreuth, Germany In my opinion, this is the best book that I have read on ZIPRA, with all the contradictions and some of the insights related to the lack of strategic thinking by leaders of ZAPU. Guduza captures well the contributions of ZIPRA to the liberation of Zimbabwe. This history has largely been marginalized in official historical accounts. In addition, the book offers a deeper understanding of internal struggles within ZAPU. It is a welcome addition to the history of the liberation struggle. - Smile Dube, Professor of Economics at California State University, Sacramento (CSUS), California.
