 The 100: A ranking of the most Influential persons in History May 2, 2008
This is an eye opener about the truth, by the world renowned philosophers and historians. Excellent, everyone should read this book and know the reality.

 Outdated Book, Not worth a read January 23, 2008

The 100 would have been a great book 20 years back. The book is out dated now. As the author himself confesses that the influence of people changes as time goes on, so does the list. The list has not changed for the past 20 years in this 1992 edition book. The book was of good quality in terms of paper quality and print but content has become OUTDATED.

The title sounded interesting. However, there was no clear criterion on how the author conducted the rating and evaluation process. Moreover, in many parts the presented achievements do not fully justify the author's selection. Definitely, I would like to learn more about the person to make my judgment, or at least agree or disagree with the author -- just a brief description was provided. Other than that the author did a great job trying to get this work accomplished. The most interesting part is the historical timeline provided. I really liked it. Good job!

This fascinating book ranks the author's most "influential" people in history. Not a list of the "greatest" persons in history. The book is involved with the question of who were the 100 persons who had the greatest affect on history and on the course of the world. I didn't always agree with the author's choices or rankings of importance (for example I would have included Abraham on the 100 list; he is only listed as honorable mention), but reading the excerpts was a new way of learning world history. Easy to read... very well researched and written in concise terms. I also should note that this book was not available to purchase at either Borders or Barnes and Noble, but Amazon had it & got it to me fast.
