From the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom: eight fascinating portraits of men and women whose lives define the meaning of courage--Edith Cavell, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Raoul Wallenberg, Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert F. Kennedy, and Nelson Mandela, Dame Cicely Saunders, and Aung San Suu Kyi. Bringing his personal reflections to these intimate portraits, Brown illuminates the common threads between these eight icons and in doing so, introduces us to his own inspiring values.
