David Livingstone
Livingstone is perhaps the best-known missionary of them all. His attempts to find the source of the Nile and his famous meeting with Henry Morton Stanley have become the stuff of legend. The truth behind the legend, however, is even more compelling.

An amazing story awaits you on the first page.

Dua tema tersebut menyatu ke dalam kepemimpinan politik. Di tengah-tengah kelangkaan bacaan tentang kepemimpinan politik, kehadiran buku ini sangat relevan khususnya bagi para politisi maupun kalangan lain yang ingin memperdalam wacana kepemimpinan politik. Dengan bahasa yang santai, buku ini berupaya menjawab banyak pertanyaan seputar kepemimpinan dan kekuasaan. Apa pemimpin itu? Apa saja yang dibicarakan dalam kepemimpinan? Apakah kekuasaan itu? Mengapa kekuasaan diperebutkan? Bagaimana pemimpin politik hadir, mewarnai, dan mengelola dinamika politk? Banyak pertanyaan sejenis yang akan dijawab dalam buku ini."
