Editorial Reviews: This work attempts to provide short profiles of Africa's leaders and their main challengers. It concentrates on the presidents and military rulers in power and those most likely to replace them. Each profile has a short assessment of the character and career of the person followed by a life history. The book aims to be essentially journalistic, it tells the stories of the people who are leading their countries in the new millennium, however, it also offers the reader insight, anecdote, and comment as well as a general assessment.
