Kwame Nkrumah's autobiography is far from the boring book I had expected it to be. It was one of my university text books. I am no Pan African-ist but the book certainly makes you find Nkrumah intriguing. It even warns you that in no way can you know the man by reading his autobiography.This book along with The Autobiography of Malcolm X are making me rethink my understanding of autobiographies.

Kwame Nkrumah PC was a Ghanaian politician and revolutionary. He was the first prime minister and president of Ghana, having led it to independence from Britain in 1957. An influential advocate of Pan-Africanism, Nkrumah was a founding member of the Organization of African Unity and winner of the Lenin Peace Prize in 1962.
i think it it is an informational book.
What fine hopes for the future of Ghana and Africa in this early postcolonial autobiography of Ghana's first prime minister and president. And what a disaster was to follow, with Nkrumah sharing much of the blame. The title itself forewarns the reader of the tragedy to come: Nkrumah identifies himself with Ghana. |That was the crux of the problem.
