Mighty Be Our Powers: How Sisterhood, Prayer, and Sex Changed a Nation at War by Leymah Gbowee

1.0

ignoring the subject matter (which is and has been a serious problem for all subSaharan African countries, except a few), I have no idea how this was a prize winner, much less got to press. Poorly written, sometimes hard to follow ( even for me whose spouse has worked in Liberia and with groups she mentions), choppy, sometimes too much detail, sometimes too little.
Impassioned and truthful are it's chief assets--and that people are reading it.
I gave it a low score because I was not directed nor inspired afterwards. I hope we will see a stronger, clearer book on this matter: the issue they are facing are ideological in nature; the author's exhaustion has something to do with this.
