Looking beyond the novels and short stories of acclaimed South African writer Alex La Guma (1924–1985), Christopher Lee focuses on the nonfiction that La Guma's produced during his years living in exile.

Lee has gathered and annotated a plethora of La Guma's political commentary and other nonfiction pieces, along with transcripts of interviews, to show how the writer's life and work exemplified the internationalism of the South African liberation struggle during the era of decolonization.
