Reviews
... provides the most comprehensive and perceptive explanation yet advanced of the war's causes ... Its exhaustive detail and multilingual bibliography make it invaluable as a reference tool alone. The author's original and insightful arguments and comparisons make it the most important comprehensive history of the war that has appeared in nearly seventy years. * War in History *
One of the most impressive books of modern history in a generation. * Max Hastings, London Evening Standard *
... a tremendous achievement, combining narrative lucidity with original interpretation. * David Horspool, Daily Telegraph *
For a work of such detailed and monumental scholarship, the book also remains readable and accessible ... Strachan's awesome knowledge of his subject illuminates rather than swamps his narrative. * Sunday Times *
A towering achievement. * Richard Holmes, The Guardian *
Magnificent...sumptuous in the energy, clarity, and breadth of its scholarship ... a masterpiece. * Los Angeles Times *
