Seychelles Global Citizen by James R Mancham

James Mancham is the first President of Seychelles, one of several firsts achieved by this remarkable man. There is no doubt that here is a man with the capacity for high office --not only in his own country but also internationally. He is ambitious, politically shrewd and a devoted Seychellois. He has the flamboyance of a Trudeau, the political determination of a Lee Kuan Yew and the stamina for travel of a Kissinger.--Alan Baily, The Times of London

Mancham hailed, 'International Ambassador for Peace and Goodwill'.--Seychelles Nation

Sir James Mancham's colorful life is chronicled in this autobiography. The first president of the Seychelles, Manchm is a respected world figure and worker for world peace. His life story is intertwined with that of his archipelago nation.

JAMES RICHARD MANCHAM was the first President of the Republic of Seychelles. Trained as a Barrister in London, he returned to serve as a member of the Executive Council of the British colonial administration. Prior to independence, he founded the Seychelles Democratic Party and was then elected President when the British left. He organized the building of the first airport in Seychelles, which increased tourism and economic development. He was overthrown in a socialist coup in 1977 and lived in exile 15 years, becoming successful in selling private islands and managing a German airline, among other things. He returned to Seychelles in 1992 to serve as an advisor for economic development and tourism, and serves as an emissary of Seychelles to numerous international organizations.
