Born in Pondoland in 1917, Oliver Tambo cut his political teeth in
the ANC Youth League. This book traces his role as a leader of the
legal ANC through the Defiance Campaign, the Congress of the People
and the Treason Trial, and his evolution from militant ‘Africanism’
towards acceptance of the idea of the ANC as open to people of
different racial groups and political persuasions. The book also
traces his role from the aftermath of Sharpeville in 1960 as, for
30 years, the pre-eminent leader of the ANC in exile in London,
Tanzania and Zambia. It shows how, placing himself at the political
centre of the organisation, he held the ANC together through great
difficulties, managing its relations with African states and great
powers, and steering it towards the negotiated end of apartheid.
The book analyses the sources of Tambo’s strength as a leader,
emphasizing his integrity and commitment to democracy, and the
importance to him of religion, music and family.
