First published in 1989. During the days follow­ing Kwame Nkrumah's death in 1972, the idea of writing this book first took form. During the past fifteen years, Africa has gone through a major trauma. The events of these years help throw light on the Nkrumah experiment, and underline its continued relevance for Ghana and for Africa.
