Liberia Founding and Fall: One Man's Horror and Hope is a gripping account of the rise and fall of a West African nation, told through the eyes of one of its most prominent citizens.
Charles Taylor was a warlord who led a rebel army to victory in Liberia's civil war. He became president in 1997, and ruled the country for six years. During his time in power, Taylor committed horrific human rights abuses, including mass murder, rape, and torture.
In 2003, Taylor was forced to step down from power and was eventually tried for war crimes by the International Criminal Court. He was found guilty and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Liberia Founding and Fall: One Man's Horror and Hope tells the story of Taylor's rise and fall, and the devastating impact his presidency had on the country. It is a powerful and important book that sheds light on one of the darkest chapters in African history.
