Michela Wrong

Opis

When Michela Wrong's Kenyan friend John Githongo appeared one morning on the doorstep of her London flat, it was clear something had gone very wrong in a country regarded until then as one of Africa's few budding success stories. John's tale is the story of how a brave man came to make a lonely decision with huge ramifications.

Recenzje
