This well researched book J. A. BRAIMAH -BIOGRAPHY OF A TRAIL BLAZER  is not just a biography of the first-ever Member of Parliament and Cabinet Minister from  Northern Ghana, but a packed chronicle of the stormy political period of the pre and immediate post-independent  Ghana, narrated through the lens of a man in whose soul the development of Ghana and Northern Ghana in particular  burns. It highlights the slow but momentous inclusion of Northern Ghana in the affairs of the Gold Coast.

The mistrust that characterized the relationship between Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and the leaders of Northern Ghana,  which culminated in the forma on of the Northern Peoples Party, and Northern Ghana’s struggle for a dignified  independence; makes this biography a must have for scholars, students, politicians and all who are interested in the  twists and turns of this period.

As a chief, this book captures J. A. Braimah’s bumpy journey through the chieftaincy line of succession, as well as very  fascinating Gonja history, with a focus on the Kpembe Traditional Area.
