The book Working with rawlings details Flight Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings burst on the Ghanaian political scene with a failed military mutiny  on May 15th 1979. On June 4th 1979, following a successful uprising staged by junior officers and other  ranks of the Ghana Armed Forces, he emerged as the Chairman of the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council  (AFRC) which ruled Ghana for three months and handed over to a civilian constitutional government on  24th September 1979. On 31st December 1981, he overthrew the constitutional government and formed  the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) as the Government of Ghana. He was elected a  constitutional President in 1992 and assumed office as such on 7th January 1993. He served two terms as  President of the Republic of Ghana, finally leaving office on 6th January 2001.

Jerry John Rawlings is an enigma. It was a privilege working with him and being close to him. He and I  went through many exciting experiences together. I have documented some of those experiences in this  book. But there are many other experiences which I have not documented either because they belong to  the realm of confidentiality or of privacy.
