Description
‘Honest and credible about both the successes and the failings of liberation leaders.’ – Mavuso Msimang Deputy President of ANC Veterans and former ANC Underground
Why are liberation and independence movements often betrayed when their leaders get into government? This question has haunted Peter Hain for decades.
With the unique perspective of having navigated both the streets of protest and the corridors of power, Hain reflects on the challenges of staying true to the values of liberation struggles while confronting their disappointing outcomes. Thought-provoking and accessible, this book is an essential read for anyone engaged in the fight for a better world.
