The 100 Most Influential World Leaders of All Time
The Britannica Guide to the World's Most Influential People
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 our most memorable and powerful leaders--those who history has justifiably vilified and others who will be cherished for years to come.

Series Review: World's Most Influential People"This ambitious series corrals world history's major doers and thinkers whose work challenges and inspires people consistently, or incites change or reform on a large scale. People of many races and nationalities are represented. Careful wording bridges one chronologically arranged article to the next, enhancing the idea that one person's word builds on an earlier individual's accomplishments...this series is a goldmine."
