Book Synopsis
In January 2006, after the Republic of Liberia had been racked by fourteen years of brutal civil conflict, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf-Africa's 'Iron Lady' - was sworn in as president, an event that marked a tremendous turning point in the history of the West African nation. This memoir shares the inside story of her rise to power.

Trade Review
"This is the incredible story of a woman who spent her life talking tough to the lunatics surrounding her. It is an accessible walk through Liberian history, told by someone who was somehow always in the center of the political storm." -- New York Times Book Review "Exceptionally well written, a true story that seems as much a thriller as the remembrances of an ambitious and brave woman... This timely book, essential for anyone who hopes to understand West Africa in general and Liberia in particular, is a lesson in courage and perserverance." -- Washington Post "An inspiring inside look at a nation struggling to rebuild itself and the woman now behind those efforts." -- Booklist
