In this book, Peter F. Krough examines the major events and
individuals which figured prominently in the movement of "centers
of initiative" and of the world's "main axis of commerce and
communication" from East to West over the last five hundred years.
The book follows the westward migration of the world's "center of
gravity" from China in the fifteenth century across Eurasia to the
Near East, onward to Europe and then to America and, now, to the
Pacific Rim. The focus is on historical figures who, by virtue of
their vision and action, led the movement. It highlights what
unfolds when a powerful idea is embraced by a formidable
individual, who pursues the idea with uncommon ability and
intensity. Along the way, the book identifies qualities that make
for leadership on a grand scale which aspiring leaders may find
instructive and even inspirational.
