Political Leadership in Africa (1983) reviews the different types of leadership in Africa, ranging from the beneficial guidance of Nyerere to the despotism of Amin. It examines the options open to the leaders of the newly-independent countries in Africa and shows that attitudes to colonial rule have largely determined future economic and social development.
