Strong Leadership: Thatcher, Reagan and an Eminent Person

By Graham Little

Party leaders, whether Prime Ministers or Presidents, have become symbols of who we are, personifications of our way of life and deepest beliefs, and are increasingly sought as moral guides through the uncertainties of the age. Looking at the ways that strong leaders are different from other leaders, as well as the limitations strong leaders are likely to have, this book presents portraits of three current political figures--Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Australia's Malcolm Fraser--who are, or appear to be, strong leaders. Blending psychology and politics, Little here analyzes the ideologies, political programs, working methods, and personalities of each, and examines their childhoods, early youth, and parental and sibling influences.
