Excellent read. This text covers important warrior influencers all the way from 1810BC to 1967. This is a very niche topic and the author painted the picture clear enough for anyone to understand, weather the reader has prior knowledge about the history or not. It is written in a non-bias way, so the information can be interpreted by the reader from the facts and stories presented. Highly recommended!

My son (19) really likes this so far. Even though the stories aren't very in depth, it gives him a good overview of 50 warriors. It also gives him a stepping stone for future reading on the people that really interest him.

The title is misleading. Several profiled in the book are not warriors. Confucius, Nelson Mandela? The book reads like it was written by AI. Info on each warrior is 3-5 pages. You were warned.

A great thorough read, highly recommend. I enjoyed the realistic photos and the ‘trivia and insights’ section for each warrior highlighted. Those kept me engaged and coming back. Overall an in depth perspective on world leaders that truly had an impact on our world

Excellent book for opening your mind to some of the lesser known warriors in history. As described, there are 50 here to choose from that offer overviews with sharp detail of each. It felt to me like “Horrible History” books, but for adults/older teens, who are looking to broaden their historical knowledge. A few negative comments here saying that it didn’t go into huge detail, but considering the title of the book, I didn’t expect massive amounts of detail going in, so I was pleasantly surprised. If you are looking for a book to scratch the itch of new information, this does that. I feel like the author has the potential to expand on each character if they wanted to, with a new book for each. I’ve definitely learned new things, including names I’d never even heard of. I really liked too, how the author referenced the locations in combination with their modern day title. I never know where historians are talking about when they used historic names of places, and it stops me being able to fully understand the dynamic, and how the actions they discussed led into modern day. But this book helps massively with that. Also, the visuals are awesome and really bring the warriors to life.
