Philippe Deane Gigantès (August 16, 1923 – December 9, 2004) was a veteran of the Second World War, journalist, war correspondent, POW of the Korean War, author, television commentator, Greek minister of culture, and Canadian senator. The name he adopted after his emigration to Canada, Philippe Deane Gigantès, was a combination of his original birth-name (Gerassimos Gigantes) and the nom-de-plume he had used during the 1960s, Philip Deane.
This was a very interesting read. As a student, I can tell you that this book made learning history fun. The author connects ideas and thoughts about the grand acquisitors to give you a better understanding of how everything's connected. I recommend this book for people who enjoy learning history, and to students who want good grades in Social Studs.
