Summary:

"Festus Gontebanye Mogae, Botswana’s third President whose tenure ran from April 1998 – to March 2008, has gone into annals of the country’s history as its most decorated Chief Executive to date and its most courted by the international community across a whole spectrum of geopolitical issues and preoccupations. More than a dozen years since he left office, the sharp-witted former Presidents continues to resonate with the global populace and invitations for pep talk, keynote addresses, intellectual input, conflict mediation, and residence programmes keeps coming thick and fast. Only a year after he stepped down as President, he served as the African Presidential Archives and Research Centre African President-in-Residence at the US’s prestigious Boston University, the sixth African leader to garner such laurel."-- Back cover.
