In an era marked by political turmoil and foreign dominance, one man dares to challenge the status quo. At just 34, Captain Ibrahim Traoré led a dramatic coup that shook West Africa and the world. But his journey began long before that from a humble childhood in Bondokuy to the frontlines of a brutal insurgency, to the highest office in the land.

In this compelling and thoroughly researched biography, author Paul Sar peels back the layers behind Traoré’s meteoric rise and revolutionary vision. Drawing comparisons to Thomas Sankara, Traoré has become a symbol of Pan-African pride, anti-colonial resistance, and radical self-determination.

Explore:

• The deep roots of military discontent and national crisis that fueled two coups in a single year

• Traoré’s bold reforms in gold nationalization, agriculture, and rejecting IMF influence

• His controversial anti-terrorism strategy and redefinition of Burkina Faso’s alliances—breaking with France and aligning with Russia and fellow Sahel states

• The hopes, fears, and fierce debate surrounding his leadership: visionary patriot or authoritarian populist?

Perfect for readers of African history, political biographies, and current affairs, this book offers a rare, balanced, and intimate portrait of a rising African leader determined to shape his nation's destiny against all odds.
