Here was, or so  it seemed, a loyal and progressive Government with pro-Western  leadership&#8211;a final success in the story of British decolonization. Yet  within three months all but one of the cabinet ministers had resigned or  were dismissed, former ministers fled the country including  distinguished members of the independence movement. Even the  pro-Congress Europeans feared for their lives. Colin Baker unravels this  potentially disastrous episode in Malawi\u2019s history and in the story of  decolonization. He illuminates not only the immediate post-independence  problems of Malawi, a newly independent African state, but charts the  growth of Banda\u2019s autocracy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Colin Baker<\/strong> is Research Professor in the University of  Glamorgan and specializes in the political and governmental history of  Nyasaland and Malawi.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Buy the book on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Revolt-Ministers-Malawi-Cabinet-1964-1965\/dp\/product-description\/1860646425\/ref=dp_proddesc_0?ie=UTF8&amp;n=283155&amp;s=books\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editorial Reviews Review &#8220;&#8230;the book is readable, informative, and a must for all students of government and politics in Africa.
