Retribution Summary
|
"Spectacular . . . Searingly powerful. Hastings makes important points about the war in the East that have been all too rarely heard." --Andrew Roberts, The Sunday Telegraph "A triumph . . . The key to the book's success lies not in its accessibility, nor in its vivid portraits of the key figures in the drama--although it has both--but in something else entirely: the author's supremely confident ambition." --Laurence Rees, The Sunday Times "Extraordinary . . . Anyone who believes that we're all living through a uniquely troubled time should read this . . . book." --Georgie Rose, The Sunday Herald "This is a book not only for military history buffs but for anyone who wants to understand what happened in half the world during one of the bloodiest periods of the blood-soaked 20th century." --The Spectator "Highly readable . . . An admirably balanced re-examination of the last phases of a conflict that it is not fashionable to remember." --Dan van der Vat, The Guardian "Engrossing . . . Its originality lies in the meticulousness of the author's research and the amazing witnesses he has found." --Murray Sayle, The Evening Standard "Hastings is . . . a master of the sort of detail that illuminates the human cost. It is the way he leaps so adeptly to and fro between the vast panorama and the tiny snapshot pictures that makes him such a readable historian."--Mail on Sunday From the Hardcover edition. |
