The Other Histories by Frederick Schiller offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives and times of some of history's greatest leaders, following the author's own standards for greatness. In his essays, a timeline of marvellous historical happenings that saw the rise and fall of leaders ranging from the Marshall of Vielleville to Emperors Frederick I and Henry IV, Schiller makes it clear how they affected the way their people fought for the cause and ruled their domains. To ensure the book stays true to its title, he introduces us to lesser-known tales, such as on the notorious Jesuit group who made Paraguay a highly regarded nation. These essays are not only insightful in analyzing the world's rich and diverse history but intriguing as well.
