Five Minutes on a History Book All Leaders Should Read – Session 8
I read Paul Johnson’s A History of the Modern World from 1914 to the 1980s soon after its publication in 1983. It leapt into my top 10 all-time favourite books, and I have been returning to it for knowledge and wisdom ever since. Subsequently retitled Modern Times, it remains a key influence on my thinking about the challenges facing our troubled world today.
