Gotabaya Rajapaksa who hails from Sri Lanka’s famous Rajapaksa political family, studied at Ananda College in Colombo, joined the Sri Lanka Army, and had a distinguished military career lasting twenty years, before emigrating to the U.S. In the latter half of 2005, following the election of his elder brother Mahinda Rajapaksa as the fifth executive president of Sri Lanka, he was appointed Secretary of Defense, whereupon he provided strategical and administrative leadership to end the thirty-year brutal terrorist war. After the conclusion of the war, Gotabaya was also appointed Secretary of the Urban Development Authority, subsequently displaying his abilities and exemplary work ethic to Sri Lankans, as he transformed the city of Colombo into the “miracle of Asia”. The Viyathmaga Organization which he formed by convening scholars, intellectuals and professionals from all over Sri Lanka gathered momentum, enabling their services to be utilised more effectively for the development and betterment of the nation. He won the presidential election in 2019 and the party headed by his brother Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and allies won a resounding two thirds majority at the general election in August 2020. For the knowledge of the public, this book unravels in detail the journey travelled by the fascinating man, known as Gotabaya.
