First published in 1966, this re-printed title is a moving, personal account of the struggle against imperialism by one of the leading political figures in the Caribbean. The late Dr Jagan passionately weaves together his own life-story with that of his people's battle for independence and freedom in an environment dictated by race and class factors, and colonial attitudes.
