In just four years (1983-1987), he transformed a small, impoverished West African country into a symbol of integrity, self-reliance, and Pan-African possibility. And for that, he was assassinated.\u003cbr\u003eThis gripping and meticulously crafted biography traces Sankara's extraordinary rise, from a military cadet shaped by Marxism and Pan-Africanism, to a head of state who banned government luxury, planted millions of trees, vaccinated millions of children, and declared war on neocolonial debt. Through his electrifying speeches at the United Nations, his revolutionary domestic policies, and his refusal to bow to foreign interests, Sankara became a global icon-and a threat to the global order.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing from rare interviews, declassified documents, and speeches, this book offers a sweeping narrative of vision, betrayal, and unfinished revolution. As Burkina Faso once again looks inward to rediscover Sankara's path, and as a new generation rises across Africa and the world, his legacy burns brighter than ever.\u003cbr\u003ePart biography, part political reflection, this is not just the story of a man-it is the story of an idea that refused to die.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 142\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 14, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48654544535801,"sku":"9798319467522","price":20.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/ujyQMKIysR9798319467522.webp?v=1783678654","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/thomas-sankara-the-upright-man-and-the-unfinished-revolution-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
