Paul Johnson, bestselling author of Intellectuals and Creators, turns his attention to heroic figures throughout Western history. Heroes features biographical essays on such notable individuals as Julius Caesar, Henry V, Joan of Arc, Mary Queen of Scots, Elizabeth Tudor, George Washington, General Custer, Robert E. Lee, Ronald Reagan, and Margaret Thatcher. Johnson's aim throughout this entertaining and enlightening work is not to give particular emphasis to gender, class or occupation, but rather to demonstrate that heroic behavior is to be found everywhere.
Paul Johnson has written many books, including Intellectuals, George Washington, Modern Times, and Art: A New History. He contributes a weekly essay to the Spectator and a monthly column to Forbes. He lives in London, England, and lectures all over the world. "It is Johnson's gift that he can make his subjects human and fallible enough that we would, indeed, recognize them instantly, while also illuminating what made them heroes." -- Washington Post Book World
