Abstract
A critical outlook on approaches to political leadership and nonkilling peace which explores charismatic political leaders who tried to bring about a change through revolution or evolution has been discussed. A light is thrown on the duration of the movement by the leaders and the loss of human lives involved during the course of these movements.
The essence of government is the relationship between the leaders and the led. Oddly enough no aspect of political science has received less objective investigation.
