Nelson Mandela recommended War and Peace in Books (curated)

 
War and Peace
War and Peace
Leo Tolstoy | 1869 | Fiction & Poetry
8.6 (7 Ratings)
Book Favorite

One book that I returned to many times was Tolstoy’s great work, War and Peace. (Although the word war was in the title, this book was permitted.) I was particularly taken with the portrait of General Kutuzov, whom everyone at the Russian court underestimated. Kutuzov defeated Napoleon precisely because he was not swayed by the ephemeral and superficial values of the court, and made his decisions on a visceral understanding of his men and his people. It reminded me once again that to truly lead one’s people one must also truly know them.
