Great Decisions and How They Were Made
Paperback
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Examine the make-or-break event in the lives and careers of 46 historic figures and take stock of the resonance of their decisions to the present day.
Arranging these into five categories—decisions amidst crisis, to venture, of conscience, to risk everything, and to hope—the author recounts such moments as Boudicca’s rebellion against Roman invaders (c. 60 AD), Gandhi’s devotion to nonviolence (1893), and Jimmy Doolittle’s Tokyo raid (1942). An appendix suggests further reading for each account.
Quantities are limited.
