Publisher's Synopsis
History has recorded many great leaders; men and women. Some were saints, others the personification of evil, most were a mixture of both elements. The choices of great statesmen made here by Michael Galvin are entirely subjective, although it cannot be denied that they have all made a hugely lasting impact on our world. Dipping into Galvin's entertaining biographies will hopefully trigger the reader to engage in further study of not only these, but other statesmen equally deserving of it.
