Reseñas
Colorful insight into the key leaders pre World War 1
Jeff Schoenborn
Really liked this book. Short sketches of leaders with anecdotes and commentary on the character and personality. Some are not well known today, but the portrait of the young Winston Churchill and the Kaiser are especially interesting. Read well; you could imagine it's the author's own voice.
