Interesting selection of leaders, overall I enjoyed the quick read but felt this book just lacked the detail that i would have preferred. I'd recommend it for young leaders in high school or college, perhaps also a reader beginning an interest in leadership who aims to use this as a quick way to discover leaders they relate to followed by searching for more thorough works on those leaders. Most leader entries were comprised of 4 pages but these pages typically included 2 inset pictures, an eye-catching graphic with little new information, a couple inset categorizations of the leader and a half page dedicated to a timeline.
