Description
Father, policeman, administrator, politician, minister, freedom fighter, refugee: Gordon Muortat Mayen lived a full life. In this gripping account spanning more than 50 years, Muortatretells his journey from schoolboy to president of South Sudan's provisional government to life as a refugee in Zaire, Belgium, and the UK.Engaging,thoughtful, and at times humorous, Muorta's personal history is inextricable from the history of South Sudan's liberation."Gordon Muortat Mayen is the embodiment of a genuine South Sudanese patriot, astute politician, visionary, and revolutionary. He has written an honest, detailed, and multi-faceted political history of the South Sudanese struggle for independence. This is a must read memoir!"- Scopas Poggo,Author of The First Sudanese Civil War: Africans, Arabs and Israelis in the Southern Sudan, 1955-1972
