MOI - The Making of an African Statesman

By Morton, Andrew R.

Publishers Summary:
President Daniel arap Moi has ruled the East African nation of Kenya since the death of Jomo Kenyatta in 1978, surviving coup attempts, tribal unrest, and severe economic upheaval. In many respects, Moi has acted as a midwife to the new nation, guiding it through the first decades of its independence. In a country dominated by tribalism, he has managed to gather support from all areas, not only to maintain power but also to preserve Kenya as one nation. Now, Andrew Morton, who was granted unique access to Moi's family, his friends, his colleagues, and his enemies, has pieced together a portrait of Moi's extraordinary life. His book challenges assumptions about a man routinely written off in the Western press as a dictator, forcing the reader to reexamine the man, his history, and his nation. Andrew Morton is the author of the best-selling Diana: Her True Story.
