Summary "Great Leaders: Historic Portraits from the Great Historians" by George T. Ferris is a collection of historical accounts written in the late 19th century. The work comprises a series of biographical sketches of notable leaders throughout history, curated from the writings of renowned historians. This anthology aims to offer readers engaging portraits of these figures to deepen their understanding of history and inspire interest in historical study. The opening of this text includes a preface that establishes the purpose of the compilation. Ferris emphasizes the vivid characterizations that great historians have rendered of pivotal figures in history, particularly focusing on the contrasting qualities of leaders like Themistocles and Aristides, as well as notable figures from various periods, including Pericles, Alexander the Great, and Hannibal. By highlighting how these leaders exert influence through both moral strength and political maneuvering, the author sets the stage for a deeper exploration into their lives and legacies in subsequent chapters.
