    • Abstract:
      To illustrate this apparent contradiction, Bell focuses on four world-famous individuals who exemplify these competing tendencies: George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, Toussaint Louverture, and Simon Bolívar. Bell identifies these main features of the charismatic leader in the Age of Revolution, but he also identi-fies a set particular to the four men in his book. The BOOKS & ARTS ON JANUARY 6, 2021, HUNDREDS OF DEMONSTRATORS invaded the US Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the election of Joseph Biden as president of the United States and install the man they regarded as the legitimate victor and leader of America, Donald Trump. In Bell's reading of Paoli's history, his immense popularity overseas foreshadowed and influenced the rise of George Washington and other charismatic leaders during the Age of Revolution.
