Rough Road to Peace buttresses the complex multidimensional circumstances through which the subject, Lt. General C.I. Obiakor, arrived at the upper echelons of global military service. It captures such situations in great detail and so succinctly that the reader cannot miss the illustrated trajectory to achieving peace in a conflict-ridden world. After many years of war in Liberia and Sierra Leone, for examples, these countries have finally known and enjoyed a great measure of peace in over a decade. This didn't happen by magic.
