A towering work of popular history, written by a brilliant historian in delightfully playful prose, backed by 32 pages of citations and 31 pages of notes. Truly a gift to readers of European history.

Into the denouement of the argument now. It’s all been wonderful preparation for this landing.

Astonishing dynamic revisionist history (positive). Her prose is electric and fun and research unimpeachable.

Excellent - witty, fun, excellent prose, but heavily cited and driven with the razor precision of an academic historian who knows her work will be microscopically disected.

I’m going to really love this book.
