On 24 October 1964, the Republic of Zambia was formed, replacing
the territory which had formerly been known as Northern Rhodesia.
Fifty years on, Andrew Sardanis provides a sympathetic but critical
insider's account of Zambia, from independence to the present. He
paints a stark picture of Northern Rhodesia at decolonisation and
the problems of the incoming government, presented with an immense
uphill task of rebuilding the infrastructure of government and
administration - civil service, law, local government and economic
development. Sardanis was a minister at the heart of the government
and later a highly successful entrepreneur. As a friend and
colleague of many of the most prominent names in post-independence
Zambia - from the presidencies of founding leader Kenneth Kaunda to
the incumbent Michael Sata - he uses his unique eyewitness
experience to provide an inside view of a country in transition. He
looks at the highs and lows of Zambia's political development: a
purposeful beginning followed by many blunders; confusion, at times
bordering on chaos, interspersed with flashes of sensible action
and good work.This book provides a detailed examination of the
major events in Zambia's history since independence and their
effect on the country's development and progress, based on
Sardanis's in-depth knowledge of Zambia and its people and the
inner workings of its government.
