Hart deeply describes the careers and contributions of these characters in the form of biographies. Hart introduced a new historical perspective by interpreting his worth status. Among his collection of 100 people who have influenced the course of human history are statesmen, strategists, writers, philosophers, inventors, artists and reformers - from
Ashoka
to Zoroaster, from Alexander the Great to Einstein, etc. Most biographies come with pictures or sketches. To some, Hart's choice is strange, neither

In 1978, when Mike Hart's "Top 100 People Who Influenced the Course of Human History" was first published, critics said that not only in selecting the most influential people in history on their own Hart is a little bold in ranking these characters in terms of importance. This criticism is false, as evidenced by the book's bestsellers. The author believes that time will tell the impact these characters have on the world. As a result, he revised it in the reprint, increasing or decreasing the influence of some of the primary characters, while some new characters came to the fore. As before, Hart's criteria are persuasive—both the
greatest
men , the men who changed the fate of mankind, the men who helped to prosper civilizations, and those who moved the course of history. Revising and republishing this book is indeed a very rewarding work. It is estimated that the second edition will be as controversial, as shocking, and as successful as the first edition—a touchstone for any historical or philosophical school of thought.
