Description: "African Leaders: Guiding the New Millenium provides profiles of Africa's leaders and their main political rivals, concentrating on the presidents and military rulers in power and those most likely to replace them. Each profile assesses the character and career of the specific leader and is followed by a comprehensive chronological life history for rapid reference to key dates and times.

The profiles are pressented alphabetically by country and the essential facts about each leader are featured in bold type at the beginning of each biography - the leader's rank, date of birth, ethnicity, religion, and political party."--BOOK JACKET.
