School Library Journal Review
Gr 7-10-One-page entries introduce 100 figures in chronological order. Military Leaders begins with Cyrus the Great in 600 B.C. and concludes with Norman Schwarzkopf. Leaders concentrates on royalty and/or heads of state, opening with Khufu in 2500 B.C. and concluding with Lech Walesa. A minute map at the top of each page places the leader geographically; all areas of the world are represented, although both books are a bit heavy on British and American entries. A small, rather grainy black-and-white picture or reproduction of each subject is included. Much of the information could be found in an encyclopedia, although there are some very obscure references. Unfortunately, the most recent entries offer information only up to the early 1990s, leaving the account of Saddam Hussein quite out of date.-Elizabeth Stumpf, Clearfield Middle School, PA (c) Copyright 2010.
