About this product
Product Information
A gripping account of both an individual caught on the horns of an excruciating moral dilemma and a continent at a turning point. When Michela Wrong's Kenyan friend John Githongo appeared one cold February morning on the doorstep of her London flat, carrying a small mountain of luggage, it was clear something had gone very wrong in a country regarded until then as one of Africa's few budding success stories. Two years earlier, in the wave of euphoria that followed the election defeat of long-serving President Daniel arap Moi, John had been appointed Kenya's new anti-corruption czar. In choosing this giant of a man, respected as a longstanding anti-corruption crusader, the new government was signalling that it was set on ending the practices that had made Kenya an international by-word for sleaze. Now John was on the run, having realised that the new administration, far from breaking with the past, was using near-identical techniques to pilfer public funds. John's tale, which has all the elements of a political thriller, is the story of how a brave man came to make a lonely decision with huge ramifications. But his story transcends the personal, touching as it does on the cultural, historical and social themes that lie at the heart of the continent's continuing crisis. Tracking this story of an African whistleblower, Michela Wrong seeks answers to the questions that have puzzled outsiders for decades. What is it about African society that makes corruption so hard to eradicate, so sweeping in its scope, so destructive in its impact? Why have so many African presidents found it so easy to reduce all political discussion to the self-serving calculation of which tribe gets to 'eat'? And at what stage will Africans start placing the wider interests of their nation ahead of the narrow interests of their tribe?

The seller sent a different edition to the one advertised in the photo. The edition they sent is the standard current one which I could’ve easily bought on the high street. The reason I placed the order was because it was an older, possibly out of print edition advertised.
I am extremely unhappy with this, and feel that the seller deliberately deceived buyers with this false representation.

The book itself is in perfect condition, however the image provided is misleading which is disappointing for me. I purposely order from Ebay to get the original cover (as advertised) as it's unavailable on Amazon but I've received the new cover, same one I could have purchased on Amazon for £1.50 cheaper
