Reviews

This book makes a substantial and significant contribution to historiography on post-independence Zambia, offering new information and thoughtful analysis. As a book of reflections by an eyewitness, its approach is original, vivid and fresh. Nor is it only a history: for it offers a real, exciting sense of Zambia's future and potential, underpinned by the author's careful interrogation of current policies and plans.' Susan Williams, Fellow of the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London
