The first and only biography in English of one of the world's most widely admired leaders, published to coincide with his retirement from the UN.
Born in Ghana and educated in North America and Europe, Kofi Annan was elected Secretary-General of the United Nations in 1996, the first black African to serve in that position and the first to come up through the ranks. Many regard Annan as a secretary-general on par with Dag Hammarskjold, his great predecessor of a half-century ago. 'Kofi Annan' is authoritative but not authorised -- a book that describes Annan's real achievements but does not soft-pedal his problems.
