Between Faith and History A Biography of J.A. Kufuor

"The road to John Agyekum Kufuor's presidency was tortuous and reflects Ghana's political history, which had been dominated by military intervention and dictatorships since Kwame Nkrumah led Ghana, the first African country to achieve Independence in 1957. This edition reveals how an Oxford educated lawyer rose to become Ghana's Deputy Foreign Minister at 30; his later emergence as leader of the opposition; and his subsequent election in 2000 as the first President for the conservative New Patriotic Party in nearly 40 years." "The book examines the post-Rawlings era, political inheritance in the 21st century and how Kufuor was able to steer the first successful transition of power from one government to another in Ghana's history, thus pointing the way to more democratic structures and accountability in the rest of Africa."--BOOK JACKET.Agyeman-Duah, Ivor is the author of 'Between Faith and History A Biography of J.A.
