Edward Seaga - Edward Seaga - My Life and Leadership Volume I: 1930-1980 Hopeful Dreams and Futile Schemes

Edward Seaga is one of the outstanding Jamaican politicians of his generation, whose autobiography offers a unique insight into the emergence of modern Jamaica, a journey characterized by idealism, conflict and triumph.

In describing his own political journey Seaga gives a fascinating and enlightening commentary on Jamaica's history and unprecedented detail on the aspirations and achievements of the first post-independence government. His story gathers momentum as the country is ravaged by the ideological differences between the JLP and the opposing People's National Party, led by Michael Manley, culminating in the violence and terror of the 1976 State of Emergency. Volume 1 concludes dramatically with the JLP's return to power - and Edward Seaga elected as Prime Minister of Jamaica.

About the author. Edward Phillip George Seaga served in the Jamaica Labour Party's (JLP) Bustamente and Shearer governments in the 1960s and 1970s, in the latter as a gifted Minister of Finance. As leader of the JLP from 1974 he served as Prime Minister from 1980-1989 and as Leader of the Opposition from 1974-80 and 1989 until his retirement in January 2005.
