Abstract of Review
Title:Mozambique - Towards a People's Health Service (Walt/Melamed); Mozambique - the Revolution under Fire by Joe Hanlon; A Different Road - the Transition to Socialism in Mozambique by John S Saul (ed)
Reviewer:David Wield
Location:Vol.13 No.36 (Summer 1986), pp94-99
 These three books, whatever the modesty of some of the contributors, are certainly among the best serious studies so far of Mozambican development. They represent a range of approaches and opinions on social transformation in Mozambique: from very detailed descriptions of health workers in small towns, to problems of agricultural cooperative development, to the broader sweep of Hanlon's assessment of Frelimo's post independence policies, and Saul's even broader political review of leadership-mass relations. One book concentrates on health policies. The others cover development policies more generally. I shall review all three books but concentrate on the role of health in Mozambican development.
