ОглавлениеFrom the reviews of Shooting History:
‘Snow is the closest we have to a modern-day George Orwell … A vivid, accurate, honest guide to the key world events from 1975’
Independent
‘Pacy, candid and anecdote-laden, Snow’s account of a childhood spent in awe of his father … is a delight’
Daily Mail
‘Shooting History is among my favourite memoirs this year. Snow is a thinker and a generous writer who has done incredible things and has views on them’
MATTHEW PARRIS, The Times, Books of the Year
‘Snow charts his own growth with self-deprecation and a lightness of touch … A fascinating insight into a world in flux’
Time Out
‘Will inspire anyone who wants to know what television is like at the uncomfortable end of the camera when the bullets are flying’
Guardian
‘[Snow is a] witty, mildly eccentric and utterly engaging writer … He cleverly uses his own personal experiences and insights gained while being present at some of the major events in modern world history to argue a particular point … His anecdotes on the likes of Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Idi Amin are spot on’
Birmingham Post
‘Opinionated, eloquent … As one man’s take on the history of the past 30 years this is an impressive piece of work. Snow is good at teasing out the often terrible ironies of our times … A well-written, engrossing and surprisingly passionate piece of work’
Sunday Herald
‘Hugely entertaining … and makes you think’
Manchester Evening News
‘Fascinating … this book puts history into startling clarity’
Irish Examiner
