Visitations: Conversations With The Ghost Of The Chairman

‘I read Visitations: Conversations with the Ghost of the Chairman with great ambivalence. On the one hand I turned each page with eager anticipation of what these two great souls, one dead and one alive, would reveal next about one of the great revolutionary struggles of our time. And yet, on the other hand, I knew that this heroic struggle waged, in their own way, by the scholar diplomat, Francis Mading Deng and the liberation leader, John Garang de Mabior has ended tragically with more ghosts of a once hopeful people. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in knowing how the hopes of one generation can so tragically and so quickly turn to the hopelessness of another generation!’ -Vasu Gounden, Executive Director, African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD)
