The story of Zambia's struggles is one that affects every Zambian, past, present and future. It is the story of Zambia's journey towards true independence. When they gained our sweet independence, it was not envisaged that with it would come with enormous challenges, challenges of not their making, challenges, sometimes artificial and machined. Every former colony of the imperial powers has had to go through similar challenges as Zambia has done. Nevertheless, Zambia's story is different. Charles Mwewa tells part of that story in this volume.
