Description
After Thomas Sankara rose to power in a popularly-supported coup in 1983, he changed the name of his country from the colonial-era Upper Volta to Burkina Faso - Land of Upright Men - and launched an ambitious program for social and economic change. This program provides a detailed account of Sankara's four-year rule and explains why, despite his many tragic flaws, he is still venerated by some as the "African Che Guevara.
