Review

Levi writes of unspeakable things with charity, clarity and objectivity (SUNDAY TIMES)

Levi's work is a model of patience and hard-won enlightenment, a search for illumination in places where there appeared to be none. (DAILY TELEGRAPH)

It is, as always, an intellectual and aesthetic pleasure to follow the perfection of style, the manner of exposition, both subtle and lucid. (OBSERVER)

The horror of what he reveals is made all the more terrifying by a prose style which is cool, clear and unsparing. The most powerful message to emerge from this book is that we must learn the lessons of history so as not to repeat its mistakes. (YORKSHIRE POST)
