Great Contemporaries profiles towering figures ranging from Franklin Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, Lawrence of Arabia and Leon Trotsky to Charlie Chaplin, H. G. Wells, Rudyard Kipling and George Bernard Shaw. Written in the ten years before Churchill became perfect minister, the essays in Great Contemporaries concentrate on the obstacles of statecraft at the same time when the democratic trend was toppling aged regimes predicated on custom and aristocratic privilege. Churchill's enthusiastic observations take on new importance in our own years of roiling political change. Inevitably, Great Contemporaries provides fascinating insight into the statesman's point of view. Churchill's aim is clear: he attempts to study from these giants why is a man great. He approaches his subject matter with a calculating eyesight, finding their limits at least as revealing as their merits. This new edition of Great Contemporaries brings back again Churchill's unequaled insights and unforgettable prose for a fresh technology of listeners and leaders.
