Description: "More than simply a biography of Forbes Burnham, the political leader who led Guyana to independence and remained at the political helm for many years. Provides wider backdrop on Guyana's economic and social history and on political activities and aspirations of the nation as a whole. Completed in 1989, book suffers somewhat from absence of revisionist perspectives of Burnham that appeared over the past eight years. A contemporary and comrade-in-arms of Burnham, author's sympathy is obvious"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
