Go inside the private correspondences of one of Africa's most enigmatic statesmen. "The Letterman" is a magisterial work of narrative non-fiction that curates the historical letters of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo. Spanning over 50 years—from his time as a young military officer during the Civil War to his post-presidency era—these letters offer a raw, unfiltered look at the attitudes, worldview, and emotional complexity of a man whose life story is inextricably linked to the story of Nigeria and Africa.
