Chipembere

This extensive biography of one of Malawi's most important historical figures aims to provide coverage of the missing events in the subject's own autobiography: the 1959 state of emergency, his years in detention and prison, his periods of ministerial office, including as a cabinet minister, the 1964 revolt against Banda, his attempted coup d'état in 1965, and his subsequent flights and exile in Tanganyika and the US.
