Features: This is probably an iron law that any true politician, especially a revolutionary one, must undergo hardships and face life-and-death trials before achieving success. Just like Tang Sanzang's journey to retrieve the scriptures, without enduring the ninety-nine and eight trials, one cannot obtain the true scriptures or achieve enlightenment. The phrase "When the tides surge in the vast ocean, only then does the true character of a hero emerge" is an artistic summary of this principle. Those who, in the face of adversity, fear death and seek safety, flee and fall behind, resort to shortcuts, or betray their principles and turn away are all disqualified from being politicians. This book collects some giants of the 20th century, providing detailed introductions to each prominent figure, including Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Sun Yat-sen, Mahatma Gandhi, Vladimir Lenin, Winston Churchill, Konrad Adenauer, Leon Trotsky, Joseph Stalin, Grigori Zinoviev, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Nikolai Bukharin, Jawaharlal Nehru, Ho Chi Minh, Charles de Gaulle, Josip Broz Tito, Mao Zedong, Nikita Khrushchev, Zhou Enlai, Eleanor Roosevelt, Sukarno, Kim Il-sung, Richard Nixon, John F. Kennedy, Indira Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Lee Kuan Yew, Margaret Thatcher, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Martin Luther King Jr., Mikhail Gorbachev.
