For an unequalled stint of 15 years, Shridath Ramphal was the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth of Nations. This anthology of essays provides glimpses of a remarkable career, written by those who have worked with him or researched his many contributions to the Commonwealth, the Caribbean, the global community and internationalism. Ramphal was a key player in fighting racism in Southern Rhodesia and Apartheid in South Africa, as well as during Mandela's release from prison and Namibia's liberation. He still continues his inspirational activism today.
