Kathryn Warner strips away the myths which have been created about him over the centuries, and provides a far more accurate and vivid picture of him than has previously been seen.

James VI & I, who died 400 years ago, was one of Britain’s most consequential and interesting monarchs, not least in creating the British monarchy itself by joining the English and Scottish thrones. A major intellectual, James's preoccupations ranged from witchcraft and theological controversy to hunting, diplomacy, poetry and sartorial fashion. The 'Mirror of Great Britain' was a spectacular jewel that gave symbolic endorsement to James's vision of British union, but mirrors themselves supplied James with one of his favourite literary metaphors.

सुषमा स्वराज की छवि मेरे मानस पटल पर सामाजिक और राजनीति सरोकारों में सामंजस्य बिठाने और दोनों को संभालने वाली एक आदर्श महिला के रूप में दर्ज हो गई। वस्तुतः उनके व्यक्तित्व के पीछे की आभा और भी उज्जवल हो गई। बाद में जैसे-जैसे मुझे सुषमा जी के साथ काम करने और उनका सानिध्य मिलता गया, उनके साथ मेरी निकटता बढ़ती गई, वैसे-वैसे मेरे मन में उनके प्रति सम्मान दोगुना होता गया। मेरी तरह अनगिनत लोग उनके व्यक्तित्व से प्रभावित थे।

समाजकारण व राजकारण या दोन्ही गोष्टी सांभाळताना माझ्या मनामधली एक आदर्श व्यक्ती म्हणून सुषमा स्वराज ही प्रतिमा जशी होती ती तशीच कायम राहिली. किंबहुना त्यांच्यामागची आभा आणखी तेजस्वी होत गेली. नंतर सुषमाजींबरोबर कामकरण्याची जसजशी मला संधी मिळत गेली, त्यांचा सहवास मिळाला, त्यांच्याशी जवळीक वाढत गेली तसतसा त्यांच्याविषयीचा आदर द्विगुणित झाला.

Fight is the backstage story of bloodsport politics in its rawest form—the clawing, backstabbing, and rabble-rousing that drove Donald Trump into the White House and Democrats into the wilderness.

Once Donald Trump’s fiercest surrogate, closest confidant, and staunchest defender, Michael Cohen knows where the skeletons are buried.

Over 4,000 students gathered at the University of Michigan to hear Republican Party candidate Ron Paul speak. As he began to address the topics of monetary policy and the coming depression, a chant rose from the crowd, "End the Fed! End the Fed!"

His firebrand approach to the movement arose out of his religiously inspired and deep-seated belief that slavery was not only morally unjust but that its removal from American society could only be achieved through armed insurrection.

In the words of Du Bois, John Brown was "a man whose leadership lay not in his office, wealth or influence, but in the white flame of his utter devotion to an ideal."
