Disponible en: French CommentsBernie Lepisto says... Other travel guides cover all of Africa or all of West Africa.The entire Brandt Guide book covers only one country, Burkina Faso. Therefore, there is more actionable information on Burkina Faso including more town maps and descriptions of villages and tribal markets where you can find traditional life untouched by modern ways. There is also more depth and more insight.The author seems to have more connection to Burkina Faso. This is more valuable than having the latest published guide.Published on quality paper, the book is heavier than others but indispensible for navigating along the path less traveled. Traveling on your own, I wouldn't go without it. You would risk bypassing places that would cause you post-travel regrets. Posted on May 11, 2011 Jesus Schlageter says... Sankara was a great revolutionary, not just a fighter, not just defiant, but a thinker, a man who sought to united the working masses of his country against imperialism and for progress.Reading his writings give wisdom not just to African revolutionists, but to anyone in the world who thinking about how to defend working people against the imperialist offensive, how to move his people to progress. In this regard Sankara's writings are important because he is not a phony leftist spouting rhetoric, but a thinking leader of his people trying to educate, trying to involve and trying to give leadership to the peasants, the women, the workers, because he knew real revolutions are made not by leaders or elites, but by the masses. In this Sankara reminds me very much of another fighting leader, a man Sankara worked with and stood shoulder to should with Fidel Castro.Imperialism and reaction may have silenced Thomas Sankara's body, but as long as these words are available, his ideas will never stop leading people in struggle in Africa and in the world.We should honor his sacrifice by studying his words!

This book had a tremendous impact on my personal and political ideology.It had so much impact that I named my first child Sankara!"Thomas Sankara Speaks" is a must read for all aspiring revolutionaries.Brother Sankara, exemplifies the importance of Pan-Africanism as a solution for all people of African descent.He also emphasizes the importance of international solidarity of all oppressed people."He who loves his own people also loves other people."Thomas Sankara is one of many heroes that suffered from imperialism's bullets.Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr. Patrice Lumumba, Augusto Sandino, Amilcar Cabral, Maurice Bishop and now Thomas Sankara speak from the grave, "Don't Shoot...You Can Not Kill Ideas!" Study, Understand, Expose The Enemy! Posted on May 16, 2011 Shenita Benincase says... -- bought this for a daughter who was headed to Burkina Faso with the Peace Corps -- of the 6+ books I purchased for her, this is the only one she chose to take with her -- she just arrived there last week and haven't heard much from her, but will inquire at some future point how useful it's being-- certainly looked good to me, so much so that in hopes that I'll get to visit her, purchased another copy for my use -- at the least it will give me some idea what's coloring her experiences. Posted on May 18, 2011 Dewitt Siuda says... It is with great belief that I think every American, African and anyone working in development should read this book!!!!! Posted on May 19, 2011 Cruz Morioka says... Thomas Sankara was a giant among men, One only needs to read this book to see where Burkina Faso (indeed Africa) could have been today,if only he had been allowed to live. We learn about the man's vision for all aspects of life; children, women, economy, governance and the like. A must read for all Africans and friends of Africa.
