Since the political arena is one involving the use of power, the position of the political leader in particular has become the focus for men's hopes and fears.This book is a case study of the effect that different forms of political leadership can have upon the shaping of a single state. It focuses upon two successive Prime Ministers of the Small West African state of Sierra Leone: Sir Milton Margai and his younger brother Sir Albert Margai. By examining their dealings with local political units, their handling of ethnic and regional conflicts, their attitude of change and their relations with major economic forces, the author assesses why both leaders had such different measures of success with their divergent political policies.The major findings of this study are that the method that a leader chooses to accomplish his goals can be important to their realisation as the choice of goals themselves and that a leader may find himself committed to a particular course through simply pursuing a line of least resistance. 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / World / African$2bisacsh 607 $aSierra Leone$xPolitics and government 607 $aSierra Leone$xEconomic conditions$y1896-1961 607 $aSierra Leone$xEconomic conditions$y1961- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / World / African. 676 $a320.9/6/6404 700 $aCartwright$b John$0749455 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148694703321 996 $aPolitical Leadership in Sierra Leone$92060354 997 $aUNINA
