Kenneth Kaunda bowed out of office after his long tenure in Zambia, when he lost the election in 1991. Some of the letters and messages he received at that time, from all over the world and various walks of life, are presented here, together with an analysis. The letters raise many issues concerning Kaunda's positive contribution to Zambia, Africa, and the rest of the world: not least the view that he was the person responsible for the peace and good will that reigned in Zambia during the transition to multi-party politics. The book assesses whether the letters were more than conventional commiserations, and the conclusion is that they represented more. A final chapter examines how President Chiluba handled the 1996 elections, the manner of winning comparing unfavourably with Kaunda's conduct.
A biography of the African leader, Kenneth Kaunda, who practiced non-violence in the long struggle to bring progress to Zambia.

Through its strength in numbers and remarkable presence in politics, Pentecostalism has become a force to reckon with in twenty-first-century Zambian society. Yet, some fundamental questions in the study of Zambian Pentecostalism and politics remain largely unaddressed by African scholars. Situated within an interdisciplinary perspective, this unique volume explores the challenge of continuity in the Zambian Pentecostal understanding and practice of spiritual power in relation to political engagement. Chammah J. Kaunda argues that the challenge of Pentecostal political imagination is found in the inculturation of spiritual power with political praxis. The result of this inculturation is that Zambian Pentecostals sacralize the political authority of state power through the charisma of the national president and other major political personalities. It has also contributed to the construction of Zambian Pentecostal leadership that is deified rather than leadership that is formed through the struggles and experiences of the marginalized and powerless. Kaunda argues that the solution does not lie either in desacralization of powers or the separation between the church and the state, but rather in rethinking the Christ event as a paradigm for the recovery of Pentecostalism's sociopolitical prophetic dynamism.
This book examines the former Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda's political philosophy and practice, and considers the conflicting views of the man and his policies - moralist or collaborator with South Africa, practitioner of realpolitik or promoter of peace. The author compares Kaunda with Mugabe, and assesses their respective contribution to the fight against apartheid in South Africa as well as the general effect of their policies on the region. The author also considers the moves towards multi-party democracy in Zambia which eventually led to Kaunda's removal from office.
