The Dissident Review is proud to present Volume III: Great Men. Thomas Carlyle famously said that "the history of the world is but the biography of great men." Today, this philosophy is under attack. Historical changes are ascribed to social forces; the role of the individual is reduced to unimportance. The very idea of a Great Man is denounced, particularly in the Western tradition. This collection of outstanding essays stands to refute this modern way of thinking. Profiling eleven figures from the ancient world to the 20th century, Volume III of The Dissident Review is a true celebration of historical greatness. About The Dissident Review: Today, the past is controlled by an academic elite which has abandoned its purpose - the search for truth, and the expansion of human knowledge. Instead, fanatics run our institutions of learning, and they have replaced truth with ideology. Dissent is not permitted in their journals. The Dissident Review changes that. Our mission is to publish controversial, banned, and subversive historical research. We require no credentials and publish solely based on merit - because self-education, led by love of what you study, is the only education that matters. We aim to cultivate that education, and give a voice to the massive untapped talent that exists outside of academia.
