Prime movers : the real stories of twelve great thinkers from Pericles to Gandhi
Mount, Ferdinand, 1939-2019
Books
In this fascinating, and provocative book, Ferdinand Mount examines the proposals for a political theory from a number of widely different historical figures. From 12 key people - the great orator and statesman of Ancient Greece (Pericles) to the inspiration of the founding of the state of Pakistan (Muhammad Iqbal) - we take a colourful and rip-roaring journey through the historical figures who have both inspired and provoked Mount in equal measure.
