Umkhonto We Sizwe: Fighting For A Divided People

This landmark book is the first memoir written by men who actually fought as guerrillas with any of the liberation forces of countries in Southern Africa. The authors joined the liberation struggle as young men in the early 1960s when they left South Africa to join the ranks of MK ('Umkhonto we Sizwe') in Tanzania. After receiving military training in the Soviet Union they fought alongside Joshua Nkomo's ZIPRA in Rhodesia. The book follows the fortunes of the two young freedom fighters through years of bush warfare/capture/imprisonment/political opposition through to the 1994 election in South Africa that was won by the ANC. This is our story. We will tell it the way it was, and not as we wish it had happened. It's not only our history, it is also the history of a people - the black people of Africa.
