Five Letters From Prison That Have Changed the World examines the embryonic stages of major historical events as conceived, or inspired in the ready minds of five incarcerated history-makers. Their lives were at a crossroads of sorts and both resolutions as well as revolutions have sprung from them during their quest, or struggle, for governmental reform, justice, a new social order and the application of spiritual or moral absolutism as they saw it. Whole societies have been changed because of them-for better, or worse. This book is not only for history buffs and historical film buffs, but also for those who simply ponder over our current global socio-political state of affairs and wonder how we got this way. As the reader processes the ah-ha moments of lessons previously learned through history books, historic milestones, dramatized through the lives of the incarcerated, set a pathway to an eventful transcontinental journey.
