Summary
Frank McLynn: Heroes and criminals: how the greatest warriors in history thought
In the book "Heroes and criminals", historian Frank McLynn deals with six of the most powerful and charismatic leaders of all time: Spartacus, Attila, Richard the Lionheart, Cortés, Tokugawa Leyasu and Napoleon. How did they acquire seemingly untouchable power? What motives, personal qualities and weaknesses led them to achievements that no one else had the courage to achieve? In six powerful and insightful portraits, McLynn excellently describes the key moments, the situations in which these warriors proved themselves in battle, fundamentally changing their lives, the destiny of their people, and in some cases the history of the world.
