      ab: Brij V. Lal was the most prolific writer on post-colonial politics in Fiji. Many of these writings concerned political leaders and the nature of political leadership. Biographies of A.D. Patel and Jai Ram Reddy stand out, but Lal's other writings on politics nevertheless foregrounded people, and the way their personalities shaped, and were shaped by, the times in which they lived. In this article I consider how this biographer's sensibility implicitly invokes a theory of political leadership and re-read Lal's contribution to the study of politics in Fiji from this standpoint. I argue that his 'political history of the subject' offers both a justification for, and approach to, studying leadership in a person-centred way.
