A man of good hope

Steinberg, Jonny 1970- (Author).

Summary: "In January 1991, when civil war came to Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, two-thirds of the city's population fled. Among them was eight-year-old Asad Abdullahi. His mother murdered by a militia, his father somewhere in hiding, he was swept alone into the great wartime migration that scattered the Somali people throughout sub-Saharan Africa and the world. This book tells Asad's story, from a childhood living in a bewildering number of places to an adulthood of financial and romantic success. Jonny Steinberg was born in South Africa. He is the author of Three Letter Plague, as well as Midlands and The Number. He teaches African Studies and Criminology at Oxford University"--Provided by publisher.
