Descriere magazin:
Catch Me if You Can meets Coming to America in this epic tale of one of the greatest scammers of all time.-NPR Shortlisted for the Mark Lynton History Prize * A New York Times Notable Book of the Year * A New Yorker , NPR, Newsweek , The Economist, TIME, Slate, and WIRED Best Book of the Year The astounding, never-before-told story of how an audacious Ghanaian con artist pulled off one of the 20th century\'s longest-running and most spectacular frauds. After winning independence in 1957, Ghana instantly became a target for home-grown opportunists and rapacious Western interests determined to snatch any assets that British colonialism hadn\'t already stripped. A CIA-funded military junta ousted the inspiring president, Kwame Nkrumah, then falsely accused him of hiding the country\'s gold overseas. Into this big lie stepped one of history\'s most charismatic scammers, a con man to rival the trickster god Anansi. Born into poverty in Ghana and trained in the United States, John Ackah Blay-Miezah declared himself custodian of an alleged Nkrumah trust fund worth billions. You, too, could claim a piece--if only you would invest in Blay-Miezah\'s fictitious efforts to release the equally fictitious fund. Over the 1970s and \'80s, he and his accomplices-including Ghanaian state officials and Nixon\'s former attorney general--scammed hundreds of millions of dollars out of thousands of believers around the world. American prosecutors called his scam one of the most fascinating--and lucrative--in modern history. In Anansi\'s Gold , Yepoka Yeebo chases Blay-Miezah\'s wild trail and discovers, at long last, what really happened to Ghana\'s missing wealth. She unfolds a riveting account of Cold War entanglements, international finance, and postcolonial betrayal, revealing how what we call history writes itself into being, one lie at a time. Winner of the Jhalak Prize * Winner of the Plutarch Award for Biography
