An intimate history of the relationship between the African National Congress (ANC) and Mozambique's Frelimo party, this study is based on interviews with more than 40 people who lived in the ANC community in Maputo in the 1970s and 1980s. Providing a vivid record of the time, these recollections chart the course of South African liberation as it evolved in Mozambique and paint a three-dimensional picture of life in those turbulent days.
