Critical Acclaim
‘This series of case studies in political leadership is truly extraordinary. In these troubled times, the lessons from historical leaders, and those who surround and influence them, are important and profound. Reading these profiles in political leadership is a master class in leadership, taught by the topmost scholars in leadership studies. Many national leaders today would benefit from taking such a class.’
