Book review: The Mayor of Mogadishu by Andrew Harding

Foreign Correspondent Andrew Harding has covered 25 wars, yet his first book is an uplifting and redemptive tale set in Mogadishu, writes Sue Leonard.

ANDREW HARDING has worked as a foreign correspondent for the past 25 years. He has covered the world’s hotspots in Russia, Asia and Africa, and, since the year 2000 has made many trips to Somalia.

And it’s this country — often described as the most dangerous in the world — that has won his heart.
