The Flame of Freedom

This book is about the struggle and life of the former prime minister of kenya Raila Odinga. The book started from his childhood in Maseno town in Kisumu. It quickly jumps forward when he decided to pursue his political career.
Raila odinga lost two presidential elections and is now probably going to run for is third. In 2007 he infamously ran for the presidential candidacy that led into the post election violence. This book talks about his struggle to reach to the top but according to him it was ruined by vote rigging in the kibaki election, though that was never found out. Also in the most recent election in 2013 he accused Uhuru Kenyatta of rigging but the supreme court said it was false allegations.
