Story
Hubert Humphrey was one of the great liberal leaders of postwar American politics, yet because he never made it to the Oval Office, he has been largely overlooked by biographers. Historian Arnold A. Offner has explored vast troves of archival records to recapture Humphrey's life, giving us previously unknown details of the vice president's fractious relationship with Lyndon Johnson, showing how Johnson colluded with Richard Nixon to deny Humphrey the presidency, and describing the most neglected aspect of Humphrey's career.

Story
Gaio Giulio Cesare è il personaggio più famoso della storia di Roma antica, nonché uno dei più noti condottieri di tutti i tempi. In suo onore vennero chiamati "Cesare" gli imperatori di Roma, gli imperatori tedeschi e gli zar russi. Eppure Cesare non fu mai imperatore o re. Nel corso degli ultimi, tempestosi anni della Roma repubblicana, fu cinque volte console, pontefice massimo per quasi vent'anni e dittatore.

Story
This book offers a much-needed new political theory of an old phenomenon. The last decade alone has marked the highest number of migrations in recorded history. Constrained by environmental, economic, and political instability, scores of people are on the move. But other sorts of changes - from global tourism to undocumented labor - have led to the fact that to some extent, we are all becoming migrants. The migrant has become the political figure of our time.

Story
Benjamin Franklin left behind quite a legacy as an inventor, politician, and philosopher. Yet when he first arrived in Philadelphia, his future wife thought he had “a most awkward, ridiculous appearance.” Franklin recalls that this was because at the time he was carrying a large dinner roll under each arm and eating a third as he walked down the street. This delightful excerpt from his memoir shows how Franklin got his start in the printing business and demonstrates his skill as a humorist.

Rolihlahla "Nelson" Mandela fu un grande leader sudafricano del XX secolo. Come membro della rivoluzione armata, Lancia della Nazione, negli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta, lottò duramente per abolire l'apartheid, quella serie di "leggi" che giustificavano il dominio della minoranza bianca europea sul popolo nativo sudafricano.

Story
Martin Luther King "aveva un sogno". Niente riuscì a fermarlo dall'ottenere esattamente il proprio obiettivo. Questo comportò andare in prigione più volte, comportò essere odiato dalla maggior parte della classe "dominante" dei bianchi d'America, comportò anche andare contro i desideri di vendetta e di alcuni esponenti del popolo nero.

Story
Governò la Grecia intera e poi estese le sue conquiste all'Asia, creando in poco più di dieci anni un impero sterminato che andava dall'Egitto all'India: Alessandro Magno indubbiamente fu il più grande conquistatore e condottiero dell'antichità. Fu amato come un dio, e come un dio visse, nel convinto rispetto per le culture e gli dèi dei popoli assoggettati, promosse un'immagine di sé che rivaleggiava con quelle mitiche di Achille ed Eracle da lui tanto conosciute e amate. Pronto a gettarsi in prima linea contro nemici, capace di profonda umanità con gli amici, raccolse la sua stessa sfida al costo della vita: andare oltre i limiti e raggiungere l'eterna grandezza.
