This book goes in depth into the mind of a man who's one goal in life was to share the glory of freedom of self rule with his people. It goes into his life experiences as well as the politics and government in Ghana. In this book he shares with us his feelings and sentiments on the importance of self governing in Ghana and his countries struggle to get to freedom. "Our example must inspire and strengthen those who are still under foreign domination. In this belief I have written the story of my life so far. If in any way it helps the cause of freedom it will have served its purpose." -Kwame Nkrumah His greatness of character and morality is an inspiration to us all. I highly suggest this book to anyone who wants to learn what freedom really is. In this country it is greatly taken for granted.

Contrary to my expectations this turned out to be a good biography of Nkrumah and highlighted his many great achievements. It reassessed him and his place in history in a positive light. A must have for Nkrumah admirers.

Nkrumah's philosophy of "de-colonization" was to set up a one party Stalinist Police State. After running Ghana into the ground on approved Marxist-Leninist economics, he bailed to Romania. He died in 1972, Good Riddence to Bad Rubbish.

Consciencism is the philosophical justification of the historic reasoning that made African Tradtional society egalitarian and generaly humanist. This work exposes the difference between western logic and the traditional thinking that dominated even feudal society in Africa. This view sees people as the extension of society and does not attempt to explain the foundations of the world , it attempts to show how reality is used to improve the human condition. It is a major contribution to philosophy while it is sometimes considered a political perspective.
