What's the name of the book? I'd be interested in learning more about him.

Thomas Sankara: A Revolutionary in Cold War Africa. No idea if the book is good, but it seemed interesting, so I picked it up and have been waiting for the motivation to devour a new book to come upon me.

Thanks! I've never heard of Thomas Sankara but I've been thinking a lot lately about who writes history, so finding examples of discrepancies (even through memes) is fun.
