NEW YORK (AP) - April 8, 2009
The Nobel Peace Prize-winning statesman says "a lot has been
said and written" about his 10 years as secretary-general, but now
he will finally get to tell his own story.
The book will include accounts of the 71-year-old Ghanaian
diplomat's interactions with world figures from George W. Bush,
Vladimir Putin and Saddam Hussein to Nelson Mandela and Yasser
Arafat.
The Penguin Press announced its acquisition of the memoir
Wednesday. The publication date has yet to be set.
Annan and the United Nations were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
in 2001.
