Overview

The nation of Liberia has a rich and deep history that represents its strength and perseverance, as it has dealt with severe corruption since its birth. Liberia's political state has been shifted several times, and 1988 marked the beginning of a civil war that would cost the lives of hundreds of thousands and misplace millions of citizens. In Liberia A Cross Between Crime and Punishment, Saah Foday Kanda illuminates the political and social chaos that ensued in Liberia from the 80s until now. He informs readers about the people and events that either helped build or tried to destroy Liberia, the important dates that mark the beginning of various conflicts, and the aftermath and rebuilding period for this country. He details the strategies of the rebellion and how he was imprisoned by the rebels himself as a refugee, witnessing terrible atrocities and constantly fighting for harmony and peace in a hostile environment. As someone who has experienced the disorder of Liberia firsthand, Saah Foday Kanda understands the imperativeness of sharing the realities of the civil war that took place there. Misinformation and hearsay spread quickly, so Saah knew his voice and eye-witness accounts had to be heard to provide accurate and reliable information on how his nation endured through its suffering and still stands tall in the face of adversity. Saah Foday Kanda has an extensive educational and leadership background, earning a graduate degree in general public administration from Capella University and pursuing two undergraduate degrees at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He has been involved with many organizations that strive for impactful social, political, and economic changes. He strives to continue to make the world a better and happier place for all.
