Les Européens et les Américains, et surtout les étudiants occidentaux connaissent très peu, voire pas du tout l'Afrique et ses extraordinaires leaders politiques. À l'Institut des sciences politiques, dans les cours de leadership politique, l'étude porte essentiellement sur les grands leaders politiques qui ont façonné l'histoire du monde, tels que Niccolo Machiavelli, Napoléon Bonaparte, Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, Vladimir Lenin, etc. Personne n'est mentionné sur le continent de Nelson Mandela, Patrice Lumumba, Soundiata Keita, Léopold Senghor et Mansa kanga Mousa. Ce dernier, roi des rois du Mali de 1312 à 1337, un empire à l'ouest de l'Afrique, est considéré comme l'homme le plus riche de l'histoire de l'humanité."Le Leadership Politique en Afrique" est une série de livres qui mettent en lumière des leaders politiques africains extraordinaires, afin que tous les peuples du monde, en particulier les politiciens, les journalistes et les étudiants, accordent une nouvelle attention à l'Afrique, à son histoire et à ses habitants.En effet, Patrice Lumumba "En Avance Sur Son Temps" est le premier volume de la série. Ce livre est une analyse politique détaillée d'un homme politique extraordinaire, qui est devenu Premier Ministre lorsque la République Démocratique du Congo a accédé à son indépendance en 1960. Bien que sa vie ait été écourtée, Patrice Emery Lumumba était sans aucun doute un leader politique exceptionnel. Les conséquences des événements qui ont conduit à la libération de la République Démocratique du Congo auraient été profondément différentes sans son impact sur les résultats politiques. Il est aujourd'hui décrit comme un héros, un martyr, un prophète et l'Abraham Lincoln de la politique africaine.

The arrival of two wonderful daughters does a great deal to make up for Stan's feeling obliged to bring his painting career to an untimely end, but all his efforts to save his marriage prove futile. Perchance to Dream, the sixth and final book in the six-part Hindsights series charts the slow disintegration of that doomed relationship. Fortunately, Stan has by this time discovered the therapeutic value that writing has had for him in his life's crises. Now, with two small children depending on him, he sorely needs a swift recovery - without the help of booze.Writing about his crisis helps him structure his thoughts, deal with his problems and achieve a new and stronger will to live. With Bob again cheering him on, Stan feels prepared for a whole new life. Love comes to him totally unexpectedly, serendipitously, delightfully, in the form of Karin. It feels almost too good to be true. Now, after more than 33 years of growing love and harmony, the test of time has been well and truly passed.Although the narrative of Perchance to Dream ends at the close of 1988, it is followed by an Afterword that ties up some of the loose ends and brings several narrative threads up to date. Stan began working on material for Hindsights some 43 years before completing it. Most of this work was done between 2007 and 2021. Enjoy!
