Was The Title Appropriate?

Special Focus On General Lazarus Sumbeiywo's Biography

The Mediator? Was this a suitable title for a biography on a soldier who achieved many other milestones in the Kenyan military? Sounds more like the sort of biography Henry Kissinger or another Secretary of State mediating Middle East peace would write.

The general’s accomplishment in the Sudan talks will no doubt go down in history as a significant achievement but surely this is not an appropriate title.

Waithaka Waihenya is a thorough journalist with excellent language skills but he should have realized that the title is so important that leading book publishers and even moviemakers these days hire consultants whose only task is to come up with ideas for the title.
