"A compelling account of the politics and leadership of Guyana’s most controversial political leader. This is more than a biography; Lewis paints a portrait that gives the reader a deeper understanding of the motions of an important slice of the post-colonial politics of the Anglophone Caribbean." — David Hinds, associate professor of Caribbean and African Diaspora Studies at Arizona State University
"Forbes Burnham: The Life and Times of the Comrade Leader, written by Linden Lewis, is an exceptional work that masterfully portrays the life of its subject with extraordinary precision and depth. Lewis's meticulous research and keen attention to detail have culminated in a book that not only illuminates Burnham's influence and legacy but also presents fresh perspectives on his character and political actions. Without any reservation, I wholeheartedly endorse this remarkable work and strongly recommend it to all."
— Nigel Westmaas, coauthor of Guyanese Periodicals
"One of the most informative and insightful books on the formative years of the Guyanese nation and its charismatic founder leader Forbes Burnham who fundamentally transformed his country, punched way above his weight as a Caribbean and world leader, and was seen by many as both hero and villain. A must read!"— George K. Danns, coauthor of Dynamics of Caribbean Diaspora Engagement: People, Policy, Practice
