Читать книгу War: A History in 100 Battles - Richard Overy - Страница 4

‘One of the great works of historical reference in the English language. If you were allowed only one history book in the whole of your life, The Times Complete History of the World would be hard to beat because it conveys a sense not only of time, but also of place’

Niall Ferguson, Professor of History, Harvard University

‘Magnificent … It is probably the most important book published on the history of the second world war this century’

Guardian

‘Monumental … this is a major contribution to one of the most controversial aspects of the Second World War … hugely impressive’

Literary Review

‘This tremendous book does what the war it describes signally failed to do. With a well-thought-out strategy and precision, it delivers maximum force on its objectives … the result is a masterpiece of the historian’s art’

The Times

‘Excellent … Overy is never less than an erudite and clear-eyed guide whose research is impeccable and whose conclusions appear sensible and convincing even when they run against the established trends’

Financial Times

‘An extraordinary and far-reaching history … Overy’s scope is incredibly broad and well-researched, also highly readable’
