Summary
"I became engrossed in the search for any written material on Sobukwe and would engage in long conversations about his thoughts, his principles and his life. His intellectual fortitude was something I came to admire unreservedly, and the more I delved into his life story and political journey, the more I became convinced that his story had not been fully told. I took it as my life's mission to accomplish the telling of it and to share with the world the true story of a political colossus, an intellectual giant and a formidable fighter for the freedom of his people.'So wrote Thami Ka Plaatjie about Robert Sobukwe. This volume is the first part of his mission. It is not a biography even though it offers fascinating and significant insights - many hitherto unknown - of Sobukwe's life. Rather, it is a testament to a man of towering intellect, deeply held principles, unwavering courage and unforgettable personal charm, and the authority he continues to exude, even years after his passing."--Back cover
