Beschreibung

<p><b>A sweeping look at what happens when we forget the lessons of history, from the <i>Sunday Times</i> bestselling author James Holland</b></p><p><b>'The remedy we need at the time we need it'</b> <i>The Atlantic</i><br><b>'A brilliant reassessment of the two wartime US presidents... and timely reminder' </b>Saul David<br><b>'Essential reading for anyone who cares about leadership and the future' </b>Anthony Scaramucci, former White House Communications Director</p><p><b>The post-war world wasn't an accident - it was designed. So what happens when we forget the lesson?</b></p><p>Although the Second World War was still a long way from being won, even by early 1941, US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was already planning for peace. America's entry into the war may still have been almost a year away, but he could already see the new world order that needed to emerge from the smouldering ashes of Europe.</p><p>Three years later, the Marshall Plan would emerge, a forward-thinking combination of global philanthropy and canny self-interest, which kickstarted unprecedented European growth and a chance for the world as a whole to rebuild after the ruinous catastrophe of war.</p><p>From the world on the eve of war in 1914 through to the Versailles Treaty, to the Great Depression and the political earthquakes that followed, <i>The Visionaries</i> takes a broad sweep of history with important lessons for today. It's a reminder that while history does not repeat itself, patterns of human behaviour certainly do.</p>
