Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2017
Until Richard Joseph wrote this amazing book on Cameroon's vanguard political party-the UPC-no Cameroonian historian took his or her time to analyze the party's rise and fall. Having initially been formed as a political party, the UPC later morphed into a guerrilla force with the sole aim of throwing the French out of Cameroon. Following Cameroon's independence in January 1960, the UPC then turned its weapon against the Ahidjo's regime, which it considered a lackey of France. The sad truth about the UPC's demise, which Richard Joseph brilliantly analyzes, is the fact that here was a political party that fought for Cameroon's independence, but was never recognized by those who vaulted into political leadership following independence. Instead, Ahidjo, a French stooge and Cameroon's first Head of State, went on a killing spree that took the lives of renowned Cameroonians like Um Nyobe.
