    Summary note
    "In this translation of his wide-ranging memoir, Punsalmaagiin Ochirbat, Mongolia's first president, traces the paths that took him from rural Mongolia to the highest office in the land. Throughout he explores complex issues of democracy, citizenship, ethics, the responsibility of the government to its people, and legacies of the socialist system in his country. He interweaves his discussion with deep historical awareness and a profound love of his people, nation, and its heritage."--Page 4 of cover.
