Book: The Story of Philosophy

The Story of Philosophy: the Lives and Opinions of the Greater Philosophers is a book by Will Durant that profiles several prominent Western philosophers and their ideas, beginning with Plato and on through Friedrich Nietzsche. Durant attempts to show the interconnection of their ideas and how one philosopher's ideas informed the next. [from Wikipedia]

A wonderful introduction to great Philosophers [of all times] & their thoughts. Durant spent several years working on this book & his effort reflects well in this book.

[PS: I was highly disappointed by other books from Durant]
