OverviewA great deal of the revolutionary work that Charles Nqakula undertook as an ANC underground cadre and combatant of Umkhonto we Sizwe was in the Eastern Cape. This book is a well-documented and detailed recollection of those difficult and dangerous times when detention, imprisonment, torture, and even death were always imminent. It required massive courage and heroism to be part of that array of outstanding leaders and cadres of the revolutionary movements.

It is well-written, easy to read and the many twists and turns in the political life of Charles and Nosiviwe are recounted in a refreshingly honest and engaging manner. It should be read and treasured by those who seek a better understanding of the historic, painful and bitter struggle for national liberation, peace, justice, democracy and human rights in South Africa. As Charles points out, it is the masses at the centre, of which is the organised working class, that make history, and if properly organised and mobilised, will continue to sustain, defend, promote and protect the values and progressive traditions of this glorious movement, the ANC."" — Essop Pahad" Carefully researched, cogently argued, and gracefully written....Buder argues compellingly for a humanistic reorientation in planning. This book chalenges planners to understand their past as an essential step in redefining and revitalizing their profession. --American Planning Association Journal Buder's most significant contribution...is his analysis of how, in the building of Letchworth, other well-intentioned men subverted Howard's utopian ideal. --Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians Visionaries and Planners ably presents Howard's sources of inspiration and the intellectual influences of the late nineteenth century contributing to the garden city idea. --Reviews in American History This is one of the landmark books in urban studies to appear in recent years and will surely take its place among the best books of 20th-century planning history. As such, it deserves a place in academic libraries at every level, and a readership ranging from undergraduates to veteran scholars. --Choice Author InformationCharles Nqakula was born in Cradock in the Eastern Cape province on 13 September 1942.
