Dinner with Mobutu

2.6/5 ( ratings)

Dining with dictators is just one small episode in an eclectic career. This book documents Smith's life and times --- from a small town in rural Louisiana to presidential palaces in Africa; from struggles to survive on a Tennessee farm to struggles in academia, where the stakes are small, but the fights are vicious. Dinner with Mobutu covers Smith's 40-year fascination with Africa --- from student to scholar to political consultant.
