(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Bethanne Andersen. This handsomely illustrated volume comprises biographies of ten legendary leaders, including Hammurabi, Alexander the Great, Attila, Kublai Khan, and Peter the Great. Meltzer's sources for discussing these lives and their cultural contexts are impeccable, and he writes knowledgeably and thoughtfully. The unevenness of available information means that some sections are less focused than others. Bib., ind.
