They were not in search of a comfortable life, and they did not find one. But like many of his comrades, the young Ngculu found inspiration and education in more than equal measure with frustration and hardship. The Honour to Serve is both his personal story and a fascinating, painstaking history of those aspects of the ANC's struggle that formed its context. It is a memoir of his life in exile, accounts of his involvement in ANC's military wing, Umkhonto Wesizwe, recollections of various MK operations in Southern Africa, and military training in Europe and other parts of the world. Above all else, it is a gift of gratitude to his comrades and those organisations to which he gave his fealty: the ANC, the Communist Party, and Umkhonto we Sizwe itself"--New Africa Books website.10aNgculu, James.20aUmkhonto we Sizwe (South Africa)xHistory.20aAfrican National CongressxHistory. 0aGuerrilla warfarezSouth AfricavBiography. 0aGovernment, Resistance tozSouth Africa. 0aSouth AfricaxHistory, Military.
