West Africa in the 1970s was a volatile melange of old and new; of
aspiration, corruption, power and influence. In its midst, Ian
Mathie laboured in his role as a water engineer to help improve the
lives of ordinary people. His work brought him in contact with
presidents, kings, emperors, chiefs and a succession of
extraordinary characters. Circumstances contrived to place him at
dinners with four heads of state whose rule had immense impact,
positive and negative, on their countries and on West and Central
Africa: Mobutu of Zaire, Traore of Mali, Senghor of Senegal and
Eyadema of Togo. In 'Supper with the President', he recalls the
events and the insights they gave him, interweaving those
experiences with true stories of other extraordinary brushes with
sorcery, slavery, wildlife conservation, desert travel and a
jail-break that could only happen in Africa.
