The Threat of Liberation

Description:

'The Threat of Liberalistation' returns to the tumultuous years of the Cold War, when, in a striking parallel with today, imperialist powers were seeking to institute 'regime change' and install pliant governments. Using iconic photographs, declassified US and British documents, and in-depth interviews, Amrit Wilson examines the role of the Umma Party of Zanzibar and its leaders, the visionary Marxist revolutionary, Abdulrahman Mohamed Babu.
