During Kwame Nkrumah's lifetime, one well-known publisher described him as "the only contemporary political writer who is certain to be read a hundred years from now".
By the time of his death in 1972, some of Nkrumah's books had been translated into over thirteen languages.
Continuing into the new millennium, nearly all of Nkrumah's works are still in print, available through PANAF Books, and are read all over the world.
