Kaunda and Southern Africa

This book examines the former Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda's political philosophy and practice and considers the conflicting views of the man and his policies - moralist or collaborator with South Africa practitioner of realpolitik or promoter of peace. The author compares Kaunda with Mugabe and assesses their respective contribution to the fight against apartheid in South Africa as well as the general effect of their policies on the region. The author also considers the moves towards multi-party democracy in Zambia which eventually led to Kaunda's removal from office.
