Reviews"...This gathering of glitterati covers not just historical heads of state from Akbar to Shaka Zulu, but also fictional ones such as T'Challa of Wakanda... said roster also shows commendable racial and geographic diversity--and even includes queens and other notable women in frequent sidebars... the bright colors and graphics, as well as a plethora of photos, period images, and fanciful but realistically modeled modern portraits, provide plenty of life and visual energy."" -- Kirkus .
