Where Charles Taylor Went Wrong: A Series of Straight Talks on Former Liberian President Charles Taylor's Missteps in Liberia and Sierra Leone

WHERE CHARLES TAYLOR WENT WRONG' lays bare the issues and events that culminated in the downfall of a man who remarkably transfi gured Liberia, Africa's oldest independent republic.
