520    Thomas Sankara, often called the African Che Guevara, was 
       president of Burkina Faso, one of the poorest countries in
       Africa, until his assassination during the military coup 
       that brought down his government. Although his tenure in 
       office was relatively short, Sankara left an indelible 
       mark on his country's history and development. An avowed 
       Marxist, he outspokenly asserted his country's 
       independence from France and other Western powers while at
       the same time seeking to build a genuine pan-African 
       unity. Ernest Harsch traces Sankara's life from his 
       student days to his recruitment into the military, early 
       political awakening, and increasing dismay with his 
       country's extreme poverty and political corruption. As he 
       rose to higher leadership positions, he used those offices
       to mobilize people for change and to counter the influence
       of the old, corrupt elites. Sankara and his colleagues 
       initiated economic and social policies that shifted away 
       from dependence on foreign aid and toward a greater use of
       the country's own resources to build schools, health 
       clinics, and public works. Although Sankara's sweeping 
       vision and practical reforms won him admirers both in 
       Burkina Faso and across Africa, a combination of domestic 
       opposition groups and factions within his own government 
       and the army finally led to his assassination in 1987. 
       This is the first English-language book to tell the story 
       of Sankara's life and struggles, drawing on the author's 
       extensive firsthand research and reporting on Burkina Faso,
       including interviews with the late leader. Decades after 
       his death, Sankara remains an inspiration to young people 
       throughout Africa for his integrity, idealism, and 
       dedication to independence and self-determination.
