Ndugu Suleiman Khalfan na Abdulrahman Ndegwa vilevile wametoa tafsiri ya haki, wakilenga kabisa alichodhamiria mwandishi wa hadithi zenyewe. - Dr. David Kyeu Coordinator and Continuing Lecturer Center for African Studies University of California, Berkeley Hadithi katika kitabu cha Upepo, Mchanga, Anga ni fupi, lakini zenye maana. Hadithi hizi zimejikita katika mandhari ya visiwa vya Zanzibar, Afrika Mashariki, taswira hizi za wazi zinamwalika msomaji kuandamana na wahusika wanaopitia changamoto za kibinafsi ndani ya eneo linalobadilika kwa kasi kutokana na maendeleo ya kijamii na kiuchumi, utalii, na hata mabadiliko ya tabianchi.

This is the first comprehensive biography of Julius Nyerere, a national liberation leader, the first president of Tanzania and an outstanding statesman of Africa and the global south. Written by three prominent Tanzanians, the work spans over 1200 pages in three volumes. It delves into Nyerere's early days among his chiefly family, and the traditions, friends and education that moulded his philosophy and political thought. All these provide the backdrop for his entrance into nationalist politics, the founding of the independence movement and his original experiment with socialism. The work took six years to research and write, involving extensive and wide-ranging interviews with persons from all walks of life in Tanzania and abroad. Among these were several leaders in East and Southern Africa who were based in Dar es salaam during their liberation struggles. The authors also visited several British universities and archives with material related to Nyerere and Tanzania, thus enriching the work with primary sources that not available in Tanzania. The book does not shy away from a critical assessment of Nyerere's life and times. It reveals the philosopher ruler's dilemmas and tensions between freedom and necessity, determinism and voluntarism and, above all, between territorial nationalism and continental Pan-Africanism.
