This collection of essays spans a 15 year period of close observation of Zambia, and its first leader, Kenneth Kaunda. It begins with the 1984 Zambian elections and continues to Kaunda’s accusation of treason by the Chiluba government in 1998. An eyewitness series of events as they happened, the volume is a contemporary chronicle not paralleled elsewhere.

Reviews

“I believe that the usefulness of this collection of essays on Kaunda will, no doubt, be significant. . . . it is certainly time that such a tool for research into African political development is made available.” – Abiodun Onadipe

“. . . an important scholarly resource. . . . Prof. Chan’s writings will no doubt have greater impact on the younger generation of scholars now and in the future. His fascinating mind and his impressive example has had the deepest factor in shaping the scholarly outlook of those he taught.” – Cirino Hiteng Ofuho
