The 100 Most Influential World Leaders of All TimeBritannica Educational Publishing, 1 ott 2009 - 376 pagine It takes a great deal of personal strength, charisma, and intelligence to lead others. Some leaders improve the lives of their fellow citizens while others rule with an iron fist, oblivious to the plight of others. This book covers the lives and agendas of leaders good and bad, those who history has justifiably vilified and others who will be cherished for years to come. |
