Fordsburg Fighter ― The Journey of an Mk Volunteer

When Amin Cajee left South Africa to join the liberation struggle he believed he had volunteered to serve ?a democratic movement dedicated to bringing down an oppressive and racist regime?. Instead, he writes, in this powerful and courageous memoir, ?I found myself serving a movement that was relentless in exercising power and riddled with corruption?. Fordsburg Fighter traces an extraordinary physical journey ? from home in South Africa, to training in Czechoslovakia and the ANC?s Kongwa camp in Tanzania to England. The book makes a significant contribution to the hidden history of exile, and documents Cajee?s emotional odyssey from idealism to disillusionment.
