"Simon Schama is our modern Macaulay....One has only to dip into ROUGH CROSSINGS to appreciate the command of detail that lies behind his apparently effortless ability to come up with the right quotation or description. The result is similar to what can happen when an old canvas is cleaned; it is not only fresh detail that emerges from Schama's examination of the records but a whole new picture. Americans, in particular, will find it hard to adjust to his view of their War of Independence."

Howard Temperley, Times Literary Supplement, 11/18/2005

"Schama once again gives his readers something rare: history that is both well told and well documented....[A]gain and again he manages to bring a scene, a person, a conversation dramatically to life."

Publishers Weekly, 03/06/2006
