Betrayal: A Divided and Bleeding Country Awaiting Healing and Unity - Paperback

The book Betrayal is a bold exploration of the socioeconomic and political crises that have characterized the microstates of Africa since their independence. With Sierra Leone as a focal point, the book highlights how African leadership, both past and present, has been complicit in maintaining cycles of poverty, corruption, and foreign exploitation. Victor Reider meticulously traces these patterns through historical events, from colonial exploitation to the neocolonial tactics of today. The book comprehensively analyzes where leadership has failed and offers solutions for fostering responsible servant leadership across the continent.

Servant Leadership is the type of leadership Africa needs in this twenty-first century. However, to accomplish this sort of leadership within the framework of centuries-old unequal north/south relationship, it would take a new crop of African men and women who have a thorough understanding of the systemic obstacles on the one hand and the multifarious continental challenges (systemic and unit as it were), on the other, coupled with the experience of our predecessors, to be able to proffer a constructive approach in providing a generous leadership with the highest standard based on vision, integrity and commitment.
