DESCRIPTION

The tortuous road to John Agyekum Kufuor's presidency reflects Ghana's postcolonial political history, which has been dominated by military intervention.

Ivor Agyeman-Duah chronicles how the Oxford-educated Kufuor rose to become Ghana's deputy foreign minister, his later emergence as an opposition leader, and his subsequent election to the presidency in a peaceful, democratic transition as a member of the conservative New Patriotic Party. The narrative also highlights Kufuor's contributions toward achieving peace and stability in the war-torn ECOWAS region and his extensive efforts at poverty reduction and infrastructure development within Ghana.

The book reveals much about not only the politics and character of one man, but also the politics and culture of an African country in the midst of democratic and economic reconstruction.
