Choosing the Hero
My Improbable Journey and the Rise of Africa's First Woman President
CHOOSING THE HERO is a geopolitical thriller-like memoir. In addition to showing how she helped Ellen Johnson Sirleaf become president of Liberia - the first woman elected to lead an African nation - Riva Levinson provides a behind-the-scenes look at how influence is wielded in Washington, DC. and the making of U.S. foreign policy. Most of all, it is Riva’s personal story of how she found a hero, fought for a worthy cause, and in the process, discovered her soul.
