Reviews / Votes
"This is the work of a man with a rare historical gift: the imagination to recreate the world of which he writes and the critical scholarship to make the exercise of imagination fruitful. . . . One of the most exciting books on history to appear in recent years."-The Economist"A book of rare value."-Sidney Painter, American Historical Review
"An important book. . . . Through his very wide research, and still more by reason of his temperament, he has made himself at home in that world, sharing its fears and its frustrations, its aspirations and its characteristic triumphs. . . . A writer who has entered so thoroughly into the spirit of the age that even its paradoxes leave him undaunted."-Times Literary Supplement
