Political Movers & Shakers (Advocate Of Change Series)
Synopsis
Barack Obama: His campaign for the White House garnered the nation's support in a way that hasn't been seen since the Kennedy administration came to power. Mikhail Gorbachev: the former president of the USSR embarked on major political change in 1985, his primary goal being to revise and improve the Soviet Union's economy. Charles De Gaulle: French General and statesman, leader of the Free French in World War II and the architect of the Fifth Republic, De Gaulle's political ideology - Gaullism - has become a major influence in French politics. Bill Clinton: Quite apart from his much publicized "private" life, Clinton's political career was one of building bridges; among the most notable is his involvement in the peace summit between Palestinians and Israelis. Nicholas Sarcozy: He's known as a blunt-talking Conservative, but since he was elected French president in 2007, his relationships, not his political ideals, have been the focus of attention by the world media.
