Review:
A beautiful, extraordinary book . . . Tuchman at the top of her powers . . . She has done nothing finer (Wall Street Journal)
Wise, witty, and wonderful . . . a great book, in a great historical tradition (Commentary)
Beautifully written, careful and thorough in its scholarship . . . What Ms. Tuchman does superbly is to tell how it was. . . . No one has ever done this better (New York Review of Books)
