This is one of the books that inspired me to pursue a master's degree in development economics. I remember being consumed by it during breaks in a summer job I had in 2009 in Tromsø, my hometown. Sometimes I even hid in remote bathrooms just to read a little more.

Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.
