Book Synopsis

Review Quotes

"I think Twelve Against the Gods is also very appropriate for this day and age. We need adventurers, and there still are a lot of adventurers." -China Ryall, daughter of William Bolitho

"Twelve Against the Gods provides an interesting perspective on what drove and impeded this group of adventurers. It's a good read for anyone who's interested in history or looking to find some motivation to switch things up and break the rules ... Taking some time to read about Bolitho's thoughts on promise, risk, and success is definitely worthwhile." -Áine Cain, Business Insider
