The Flame of Freedom chronicles the remarkable journey of one of Africa’s leading politicians and statesmen. Raila Odinga’s life-story mirrors the triumphs and tragedies of Kenya’s struggle to entrench multi-party democracy and the rule of law into the fabric of the State. The book is a testament to his courage, determination and sacrifice in the cause of peace, development and public service. It is a bold call to action for all African leaders. — Kofi Annan
