About the Book

The past is full of hinge points-instances when slight alterations could have led to vast departures in the course of history. R.K. Irvine has written profiles of exceptional men and women who have each endured dangerous situations before going on to change the world. Their survival shaped the decades that followed and influenced how we see the world today.

Here are George Washington, whose miraculous survival of the French and Indian War allowed him to mentor a fledgling nation; Harriet Tubman, whose traumatic brain injury enabled her to help run the Underground Railroad; Winston Churchill, who survived numerous life-threatening situations to help save Britain in WWII; the extraordinary Mahatma Gandhi; Martin Luther King, Jr.; JFK; Queen Victoria, who reigned despite eight assassination attempts; Orville Wright, one of the fathers of modern day flight; and more.

Different as they are from each other, each subject has lived through challenging life-threatening experiences, demonstrating the rare vitality and sense of purpose it takes to change the world. These are brave leaders: to their people, to the world, and to the reader. With fascinating storytelling ability, Irvine brings us into the lives they lived and the lasting influence they left behind.

Filled with fascinating stories of presidents, activists, humanitarians, and inventors, Hinge Points in History asks what these remarkable leaders had to offer the world in their time.

Readers who enjoyed Sharon (Sharon Says So) McMahon's The Small and the Mighty, or Alice Loxton's Eighteen: A History of Britain in 18 Young Lives will enjoy this collection of profiles.
