[Whitlaw Tanyanyiwa Mugwiji · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting read which provides a glimpse into the motivations for the liberation struggle. The book was written in a manner that gives different perspectives on different conditions that were prevalent then. The views range from those of the white supramcists, the white liberals, educated black nationalists, those who did not see color, the priests who acted as mediators between the nationalists and the white liberals and or white supremacists, the wives of nationalists and ordinary blacks who were treated as inferior and second rate class citizens.
