Madame President: The Extraordinary Journey of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf by Helene Cooper

3.0

Meticulously researched, but dry in places. It definitely gave me a working understanding of the U.S.'s connection to/history with Liberia, and how daunting a task it was for Sirleaf to become president of a country where 70 percent of women have experienced gang rape, coups and mass killings control the population, racial inequality is rampant, leadership has been determined by who kills who, and an Ebola pandemic is on the horizon. She deserves that Nobel peace price and then some.
