A history of society of the smartest and ablest

Fascinating and intriguing, extremely well written history of one of the most successful, enduring and influencing societies of medieval ages. It looks sometimes like a collection of anecdotes, but may be it is a single way to put a history in a form a normal person can actually understand and learn from.It is all here - treachery and faith, arrogance and humility, desperate quench for knowledge and blunt obedience. A history of a society which did it best to find, train and give a reason to live for the smartest, ablest and the most initiative people of its time.A must read for any person, already employed or looking for employment in a consulting industry, especially in a top tier management consultancy (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, etc.).
