May His Soul continue to rest in peace. In 1985, Dr. Siaka Probyn Stevens published his Autobiography- 'What Life Has Taught Me'. What Life Has Taught Me is in part a political history of Sierra Leone and in part the story of a self-made man. This is a republication of the autobiography, which comes in two parts. Part I covers his political career and his role in shaping the political landscape of modern Sierra Leone. There is much in these pages to interest anyone. This book is important in because it reveals much more than the life of Siaka Stevens. It is also about the process of development, decolonization, and the dynamics of nation building.
