At the heart of all turning points of history are people. Whether individuals, specific groups or nations, the great figures of history arise sometimes from a single development or from broader changes affecting society. These people have added a significant contribution to the shape of the world as we know it today. In ‘People in History’ a few of the most famous people have been selected who have given shape to life today. There are many names missing, but those whose histories which are briefly discussed in the book have been included because they are believed too be broadly representative of all the major twists and turns in world history.
