Review:

Taylor's most perfect work of art, a miracle of proportion, language and insight (Robert Skidelsky)

A dazzling exercise in revisionism which summed up Taylor's paradoxical, provocative and inventive approach to history (The Times)

Taylor was a lifelong dissenter ... at his best - as in The Origins of the Second World War ... he shifted the gorund of major debates (Ben Pimlott Financial Times)

No historian of the past century has been more accessible (Niall Ferguson Sunday Telegraph)

An almost faultless masterpiece (Observer)

Highly original and penetrating ... No one who has digested this enthralling work will ever be able to look at the period again in quite the same way (Sunday Telegraph)
