- Summary
- The purpose of this book is to make people think and connect wires, to encourage them to question their own place within the world, to acknowledge personal and collective responsibility and to enable them to feel empowered by discussing a range of situations and issues that have been changed by individuals, groups or pressure of public opinion and by the exertion of rights and choices. This collection of contributions by leading public figures and historians applies the lens of history to enhance our perspective on current affairs.
