Timothy Snyder
“Victor Klemperer, a literary scholar of Jewish origin, turned his philological training against Nazi propaganda. He noticed how Hitler’s language rejected legitimate opposition: The people always meant some people and not others (the president uses the word in this way), encounters were always struggles (the president says winning), and any attempt by free people to understand the world in a different way was defamation of the leader (or, as the president puts it, libel). Politicians”
Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century

“Europeans showed in 1900 much the same confidence in the continuing success of their culture as the Chinese elite had shown in theirs a century earlier. The past, they were sure, proved them right.”
J.M. Roberts, The Penguin History of the World

Simon Schama
“The first century of the plague had seen the country turned upside down. In the twilight years of Edward III it seemed that nothing could damage the greatness of the Plantagenet royal estate. But the world of the village went from impoverished claustrophobia to traumatized infection. A hundred years later, everything had been upended, courtesy of King Death.”
Simon Schama, History of Britain: Volume 1, A

Paul Ham
“At the present rate of attrition, Haig delighted in informing the prime minister, ‘the enemy’s man power will be running out next May or June at the latest’.”
Paul Ham, Passchendaele: Requiem for Doomed Youth

“Historians have spoken of a 'crisis' , but its most obvious expressions were in fact surmounted. The changes Romans carried out or accepted by the year 300 gave a new lease of life to much of classical Mediterranean civilization. they may even have been decisive in ensuring that it would in the end transmit so much of itself to the future.”
J M Roberts, The History Of The World
