[Nur Aimuni]

Now I knew that Socrates was born 630 years before Prophet Muhammad SAW.

[Rabab Boulaich]

An impressive collection of personas…!

[Azzam Syafiq]

Great pick if you have absolutely zero knowledge in world politics. In this book, the author tells readers about some of the most influential people in world politics and their contributions. From the ancient Greek philosophers to the advocates of democracy, this book covers much of the world politics in a very simple way.

[Toph White]

Short two page synopsis of leaders, thinkers and political theories. Good quick read and decent reference.

[Darius Daruvalla-riccio]

It's a cool book to read a little bit at a time and learn about the overviews of famous people in politics. At points though it's oversimplified to the point of mild inaccuracy.

Buku ini juga hasil hunting BBW tapi DI BSD. Keliatan banget kan beda harganya kalau di KL 5 RM pas di Indonesia 75k rupiah? Sungguh menyebalkan. Namun ya sudahlah, membeli buku politik di Kinokuniya dan Periplus jauh lebih mahal. Dalam buku ini Mrs Perkins membuat kita memahami pemikiran tokoh-tokoh utama dan diurutkan sesuai tahun. Bagi para sahabat Muslim, sebelum memanggil Muslim Cyber Army karena aku membaca Marx, kalian harus tahu bahwa Nabi Muhammad dianggap sebagai penemu Islam dan Islam disebut sebagai bukan hanya agama tapi juga cara pandang 'ism' dalam buku ini.

[Andreu Escrivà]

Recull de biografies i idees polítiques. Un llibre per a anar al bany, si se'm permet: no profunditza i no qüestiona. Però fa el seu paper.
