Summary:
"A Liberian academic and former government official accounts for and reflects upon half a century of work and experience. An important Liberian political memoir, the book is at once Dunn's critical exposition on his country and an attempt to explain how Liberia came to be what it is today. Dunn recounts his career as an academic and his services to two distinct governments of Liberia - William R. Tolbert's and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's."--Publisher
