Title: between art and science
Review: F. G. Bailey's 'Stratagems and Spoils' is a useful book for those who are interested in anthropology and/or politics. The book covers many aspects of political leadership in different societies and cultures. He is successful in making his readers convinced by drawing examples from his fieldwork in Orissa and from Fredrick Barth's study among the Pathans of the Swat valley. His 'hypothesis' that political leadership and its relation to the society is the same in all cultures is very well supported by his arguments. His writing style also deserves appreciation.However, the book would be more noteworthy if the writer had avoided repition and unnecessary elaboration of some cases and points.
