Prince Henry the Navigator: A Life (Peter Russell)
Of the prince (never king) who, with his iron will and fierce determination, singlehandedly began the Age of Exploration, in which Europe conquered the globe, and thereby created the modern world. And of what he says for the renewal of our own time.

"Henry the Navigator, prince of Portugal, never king although he often acted as if he were, made the modern world. He lived from 1394 to 1460, and it was through him that Europe began its unprecedented domination of the globe. By sheer strength of will he initiated the Age of Exploration, so for half a millennium he was therefore seen, quite correctly, as a hero all should emulate. In our own decayed age, to be sure, he is forgotten, and if mentioned castigated. No matter; this excellent biography broadly shows how America can relaunch itself. Most of all, it demonstrates how the attitudes of elites can be guided by the right leader, who can thereby determine the course of history." . . .
