Fate is a funny thing -- it throws us together with people whom can play a significant role in our lives. They can inspire us to achieve goals that would not be possible to attain alone. Imagine if there were no Paul McCartney to collaborate with John Lennon or no Ann Sullivan for Helen Keller. In 100 Relationships That Shaped World History, readers will be fascinated to learn about a variety of associations between two people that have made impacts on the historical landscape.
A wide range of relationships are featured, including married partners such as John & Jacquielin Kennedy and King Edward & Wallis Simpson; show biz teams such as Hope & Crosby and Lauel & Hardy; sports rivals such as Borg & McEnroe as well as Chamberlain & Russell; idological associations such as Marx & Engles and Castro & Guevara; world leaders from Gorbachev & Reagan to Gladstone & Disraeli; scientific duos of Freud & Jung and Socrates & Alcibiades; artistic collaborations of Astaire & Rogers and Kahlo & Rivera; music composers from Mozart & Contanza to Rogers & Hanmmerstein; and much more!
Each entry includes an illustration or photograph and a locator map, accompanied by concise, clearly written text -- teeming with facts and nuggets of information. The book also has a complete index and trivia quiz.
