Biographical works received a severe beating when
communism walked half of the earth like a colossus.
It was claimed that propagandists had turned
biographies into exercises for exorcising the ghosts
of their rapacity, exploitation of the workers,
brutality, debauchery, and chicanery. So as to earn
its proper place, efforts that went into this
biography ensured, on the most part, that it falls
within the appropriate historical context. Drawing
from my knowledge of the history as well as the
literature informing this biography, care has been
taken to ensure it has relevance for future
scholarship; especially to disciplines like
political science, literature, and history. So as to
achieve this, an examination of documents together
with oral texts with a bearing on the life of the
subject was both necessary and inevitable.
Sometimes, such information was drawn from the often
subjective opinion of adversaries, rivals,
subordinates, family, neighbours, as well as
friends. The subject of the biography, Prof. William
Robert Ochieng, is a scholar of international
repute. In Kenya, he is one of the leading thinkers
in matters of history.
