Fall and Rise of Political Leaders

Olof Palme (Sweden), Olusegun Obasanjo (Nigeria), and Indira Gandhi (India) achieved the pinnacle of political power, fell from or relinquished power, and then, after a period in the political wilderness, regained it. By placing greater emphasis than that customarily accorded by biographers on the "e;interment"e; that followed their "e;fall"e; and preceded their "e;resurrection,"e; the book describes how what they did, the lessons they learned, and the mistakes made by their successors facilitated their reentry.
