Vancouver Sun Best of the Shelf

“[Black] has written the most amazing book.”

—Rush Limbaugh

“Conrad Black has put together a study that is as bold and thought-provoking as it is trenchant and entertaining.”

—The Weekly Standard

“Unlike so many academic histories, every page of this book has the authentic touch of a historian who knows countless facts and figures by heart. When he mentions a warship, for example, you can be sure that he would be able to reel off all her vital statistics on demand.”

—National Review

“Black writes with boundless energy, graceful lucidity, considerable learning.”

—Winnipeg Free Press

“Fascinating, richly detailed.”

—Vancouver Sun

“[A] sweeping dissertation on the rise of the United States as a dominant global superpower . . . . [Black is] a first-rate historian.”

—Toronto Star

“[Black’s] admiration for this country is on full display in this elegant survey of American history from the beginnings to the Obama administration, rendered in his distinctive rolling cadences. . . . Black’s section on the Civil War is a model of concision . . . he manages to illuminate aspects of the conduct of the war that are frequently overlooked.”

—The American Spectator

“A fascinating portrayal of greatness that follows America’s rise from a British colony to the leader of the free world in just 200 years.”

—Welland Tribune

“Conrad Black’s Flight of the Eagle . . . begs to be read by anyone who wants a candid—dare I say warts and all—look at U.S. history.”

—The Huffington Post

“[Black’s] enthusiasm is contagious, his erudition bracing, and his breadth of knowledge impressive.”

—PJ Media

“Arguably [Black’s] most ambitious work to date.”

—Q, CBC Radio One
