—USA Today
“Set against the backdrop of war and conflict, this brilliant dual biography of strong-willed visionaries locked in a struggle each believed in makes for compelling reading. Arthur Herman has written a masterful and superbly well-researched account of the lives of two men who have had a profound influence on the world in which we live in today that will long stand as a testament to their legacy.”
