Kofi Attah Annan, Ghana’s first Noble Peace Laurette who served as the 7th Secretary General of the United Nations who through his transformational Leadership affected the globe and impacted on the lives of many, needs more than a book. This book, Busumuru, the Epistles and thoughts of Kofi Annan presents our hero’s thoughts, works, speeches and retraces his early life from birth to the days of the United Nations General Secretary. People of different religions and cultures live side by side in almost every part of the world, and most of us have overlapping identities which unite us with very different groups.

We can love what we are without hating what and who we are not. We can thrive in our tradition, even as we learn from others, and come to respect their teachings.
