Heroes - eBook

Paul Johnson is a historian whose work ranges over the millennia and the whole gamut of human activities. He regularly writes book reviews for several UK magazines and newspapers, such as the Literary Review and The Spectator, and he lectures around the world. He lives in London, England.

“(Johnson) is a master of narrative history, and his gift for vivid storytelling is matched by an astounding command of large, complex subjects and an unflagging capacity for rendering them intelligible and compelling.” - —Hilton Kramer, Los Angeles Times Book Review
“Mr. Johnson is a clear, intelligent, forceful writer, and nothing if not thorough.” - Wall Street Journal
“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
