The second omnibus of Francine Stock's major history of the alluring yet elusive quality that is charisma.

This edition brings the power and appeal of charisma up to date by exploring its role in theatre and film stars such as Sarah Bernhardt; self-made businessmen such as W.K.Kellogg, Henry Ford and Steve Jobs; totalitarian leaders including Hitler, and new forms of political extremism such as the so-called Islamic State; civil rights leaders, Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama; and the volatile world of contemporary banking.

Francine Stock concludes the series by considering our continuing hunger for charisma, and signs off with this warning: "we get the charismatics we deserve."

Producer: Beaty Rubens.
