They founded countries, won wars, and even ended empires--all while on the run!"-- Provided by publisher.

They founded countries, won wars, and even ended empires--all while on the run! Follow the twists and turns of these lawbreaking lives to learn how anyone can change the world. Even you! Just make sure you have your running shoes tied tight.
