On 1st May, 2019, Dr Babere Chacha of LU who has been writing a biography of Francis Atwoli, COTU Secretary General launched the book at the New Stanley Hotel in Nairobi. Prior to the launch, there was an academic discussion on the book at the Royal Media broadcasting studio hosted by Jeff Koinange featuring Prof. Felicia Yieke and Onyango Ogolla. The book is prefaced by Uhuru Kenyatta, who writes:
I salute you with those who spent their internment time to patch up this book and inform us of your past and present works and your histories. For the young, this book will act as memoir to eternally inform and remind them with the view of pursuing its popular objectives like true revolutionaries who seek to diligently serve their nation. I am sure this work will become a permanent addition to the small shelf of indispensable books on the history of Kenya.
The launch coincided with Labour Day Celebrations and was attended by politicians, unionists, authors, media and civil society groups.
