Written just before Zambia’s independence in 1964, the book traces Kaunda’s life—from his humble beginnings as the son of a missionary and teacher to his rise as a national leader and freedom fighter. Kaunda recounts the formation of the United National Independence Party (UNIP), his imprisonment for civil disobedience, and the challenges of mobilizing a nonviolent mass movement under colonial oppression. The book combines political analysis, personal reflections, and a passionate call for racial equality, democracy, and African unity. It is as much a manifesto for national liberation as it is an intimate glimpse into the ideals and resilience of one of Africa’s key independence leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1073\" data-end=\"1076\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"2007\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003eAbout the Author: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKenneth David Kaunda\u003c\/strong\u003e (1924–2021) was a teacher, nationalist, and the founding President of independent Zambia, serving from 1964 to 1991.
