Description: 

For over 50 years Africa was dominated by the imperial powers of Europe. This is an account of the struggle for freedom. The author describes the scramble for Arica and the colonial era. He traces the history of the independence movement from its birth in Ghana during the 1940s, through the 1960s, when British prime minister Harold Macmillan identified the wind of change blowing across the continent, to the dramatic events that have finally led to complete freedom of Africa from the yoke of imperialism.
