XANANA: Leader of the Struggle for Independent Timor-Leste

Sara Niner has written the political biography of Xanana Gusmão, leader of the East Timorese struggle for self-determination, first President of the new nation of Timor-Leste and current Prime Minister. Today, the politics of East Timor remain volatile and complex, and many challenges still exist for this tiny new nation. This book explains much about the political leadership of the country today.
