The book, which comprises of over 444 pages describing in detail the historic journey of Zanzibar and then Tanganyika (Tanzania Mainland), covering the rich historical background and the political journey prior to the Union in 1964 and also the political journey of the factual events from 1964 until 2014.

This book is believed to be the only book of excellence in terms of its contents about the Photographic Journey of the Union and has been published, written and edited by Tanzanians.
