MONROVIA – It was a night of sheer accomplishment and celebration on Saturday when internationally celebrated Liberian journalist, Rodney D. Sieh launched his latest book, George Weah, The Story of Africa’s Footballer President – An Unofficial Biography on home soil in Monrovia. According to the author, and as evidenced by its title, President Weah did not officially approve his work. Pearl Brown Bull said Sieh’s book is an ‘unbiased and a bold venture’ that many of his peers would dare not to go. In this book, Rodney has documented the story of Africa’s first football president. Perhaps, a testament to Rodney’s account that President Weah refused to approve the project and that the President’s inner circle – most of whom are in government, declined to speak openly for fear of reprisal.
