The precipitous rise and controversial fall of a formidable African
leader. Samora Machel (1933-1986), the son of small-town farmers,
led his people through a war against their Portuguese colonists and
became the first president of the People's Republic of Mozambique.
Machel's military successes against a colonial regime backed by
South Africa, Rhodesia, the United States, and its NATO allies
enhanced his reputation as a revolutionary hero to the oppressed
people of Southern Africa. In 1986, during the country's civil war,
Machel died in a plane crash under circumstances that remain
uncertain. Allen and Barbara Isaacman lived through many of these
changes in Mozambique and bring personal recollections together
with archival research and interviews with others who knew Machel
or participated in events of the revolutionary or
post-revolutionary years.
