Autor Brian Michael Till
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 apr 2011
Fresh out of college, and frustrated with own generation’s political apathy, Brian Till set out to interview the former world leaders he most admired. To his surprise, they were eager to talk, and he soon found himself discussing everything from energy to terrorism to nuclear disarmament with the greatest leaders of the last twenty-five years. Here, he distills what they learned in office, their predictions for the future, and their advice for the leaders of tomorrow. Including interviews with:
*Bill Clinton
*Gro Bruntland
*Jimmy Carter
*Fernando Henrique Cardoso
*Ehud Barak
*Vaclav Havel
*Mikhail Gorbachev
*Pervez Musharraf
*F.W. de Klerk
*Ricardo Lagos
*Helmut Schmidt
*Goh Chok Tong
*Paul Keating

"This is a collection full of voices that have not been heard enough in America, and the world. Brian Till has spent quality time with some of the most innovative and significant officials of the past few decades, and their experiences and insights are a delight to read, as well as provide an important series of history lessons." - Seymour M. Hersh
"Conversations with Power reflects one young man's quest for knowledge and reassurance from a fascinating array of past leaders. The result is not only a revealing set of lessons about the possibilities and limitations of power; it is also a challenge to a new generation to take the future into its own hands." - Madeleine K. Albright, Former U.S. Secretary of State
"This is a marvelous collection. Brian Till has journeyed around the world talking to leaders of all sorts of government about how they got to the top, what they did there, what worked, what did not. His book gives valuable insights into the  secrets of power - and how the powerful see the world today." - William Shawcross, author of Deliver Us From Evil

Caracteristici

1) FEATURES MAJOR POLITICAL LEADERS: This book will feature interviews with the major players on the world stage of the past quarter-century, such as Lee Kuan Yew, Madeline Albright, Jiang Zemin, Fidel Castro, Gro Brundtland, the Dalai Lama, and Ehud Barak, among others.
2) WIDE APPEAL: This book will appeal to a wide audience from readers interested in politics and important political figures, as well as its global appeal with voices from around the world.
3) SPEAKS TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION: Till's age puts him squarely in the middle of the generation that elected Obama president, yet he is concerned by the despair and cynicism of his generation when it comes to government and politics. His goal is in part to re-engage them by getting them excited again about politics and its potential. This will also make a great graduation gift.
