Between Faith & History, Vols 1, 2 & 3

A fascinating account, in two volumes, of John A Kufuor's journey from Oxford-educated lawyer to Ghana's Deputy Foreign Minister at 30, detention, emergence as leader of the Opposition's New Patriotic Party and subsequent election as President in the first democratic elections in nearly 40 years of military intervention & dictatorships. It also reflects on Ghana's history as the first country in Africa to achieve a successful transition of power from one administration to the other thus pointing the way to more democratic structures and accountability.
