| Publisher Description: This work looks at Julius Nyerere, the first president of Tanganyika - later Tanzania - from different perspectives as a leader who played the most important role in shaping the destiny of his country after it won independence from Britain on 9 December 1961. He also helped shape the destiny of his continent because of the leading role he played in the liberation struggle in the countries of southern Africa which were still under white minority rule. The work also looks at Nyerere simply as a person whose values and commitment to the wellbeing of others thrust him into a position of leadership since his student days when he was chosen to be a prefect in secondary school and refused to be granted special privileges over his fellow students simply because he was one their leaders. It was those same values and convictions which also made him stand out among other African leaders and earned him the title, "the conscience of Africa." |
