From the author of 'The Pike' winner of the 2013 Samuel Johnson prize for non-fiction a compelling story of heroism told through eight famous lives that span from Achilles to Sir Francis Drake.
Beginning beneath the walls of Troy, ending in 1930s Europe, 'Heroes' is a compelling evocation of heroism through eight famous lives Achilles, Odysseus, Alcibiades, Cato, El Cid, Francis Drake, Wallenstein and Garibaldi.
Not necessarily all good sometimes quite the reverse but all great, they possessed a charisma, a strength of will powerful enough to persuade those around them that they alone could do the incredible and unprecedented.
It is a story of morality and dictatorship; money and sorcery; seduction and mass hysteria.
