Albert Luthuli's story is also that of the ANC. Luthuli's lively account tells of the repression and resistance that were to shape the South African political landscape forever: the Defiance Campaign, the drafting of the Freedom Charter, the Treason Trial and the tragedies of Sharpeville and Langa.

Albert Luthuli was the first black African to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. This book bears witness to Luthuli's unfailing humility, perseverance, and passionate commitment to his values.
