Man Makes History is a historical essay by Russell Ward, published by Shakespeare Head Press in 1961. It is a reprint of a lecture that Ward delivered at the University of Sydney in 1959, in which he argued that history is not determined by impersonal forces, but by the actions and choices of individual human beings. He illustrated his thesis by analyzing the roles of various historical figures, such as Napoleon, Lincoln, Hitler, and Stalin, in shaping the course of history. The book has 119 pages. Additional remarks, hardback in plastic sleeve, heavy foxing to pages, yellowed front and back endpapers, binding loose.
