Klappentext
Praise for Richard Overy
Blood and Ruins
"[A] stupendous achievement...Blood and Ruins dissects the sinews of war with the sharpest of scalpels...It is history at its best, down to the finest points."
- Josef Joffe, New York Times Book Review
"Blood and Ruins is a monumental work...Richard Overy has given us a powerful reminder of the horror of war and the threat posed by dictators with dreams of empire."
- Michael F. Bishop, Wall Street Journal
"The Pacific clash over colonies reveals a greater truth about the Second World War...[Blood and Ruins ] refuses to treat the Pacific as 'an appendix,' as histories often do. Rather, it sees World War II as a truly 'global event.'"
- Daniel Immerwahr, The Atlantic
The Dictators
"Gripping...astonishing...superb. [Overy's] skills lie in the fluent telling of a complex story, in the sharp flash of insight, in his patient commitment to the rational explanation of events that sometimes seem to defy all reason."
- Jane Caplan, Times Literary Supplement
Why the Allies Won
"Clear-sighted...learned, and multifaceted."
- Richard Bernstein, New York Times
"Broad and insightful."
- Eliot A. Cohen, Foreign Affairs
"A masterpiece of analytical history."
- Niall Ferguson, Sunday Times (London)
