Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Fascinating to read Comment: Kathleen Paparchontis' 100 World Leaders Who Shaped World History is an informative collection of 100 one-page biographies of the men and women who stand out as the most powerful and influential leaders in the recorded history of the world from antiquity to the present day. Great statesmen and tyrannical dictators are listed side by side, from Hammurabi and Winston Churchill to Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler himself. Each biographical entry is accompanied by a photograph if possible, or else an artist's image of the historical leader. A final page sports a 16-question trivia quiz with two suggested projects, and an index facilitates quick and easy reference. 100 World Leaders is fascinating to read by itself, as well as a superbly presented survey of the personalities, good, ill, and human, who etched the lessons of history itself into collective human memory.
