Summary

"The Mediator is the remarkable story of one man who has demonstrated to the world that indeed, Africa is capable of getting a remedy for her malaise. When he was assigned the task of mediating peace in the Sudan, General Lazaro Sumbelywo braced himself for the onerous responsibility. For more than five years, this indefatigable and passionate military man travelled through the arduous journey of negotiations; navigated through delicate peace talks; waded through tempestuous seas of interested parties, and eventually emerged victorious."--Jacket.
