Review:
"[B]rilliantly rounds out the historical record by digging far deeper than earlier biographies into treasury and diplomatic archive....Skidelsky has not only achieved a masterpiece of biographical and historical analysis, but demonstrated that Keynes attained his own stated ideal of economic thinkers as 'the trustees, not of civilization, but of the possibility of civilization.'"
V. S. Pritchett
Review:"Robert Skidelsky's triumph is two-fold. He gives the reader an astonishingly clear account of financial and commercial negotiations whose intricacy and difficulty reduced public servants on both sides of the Atlantic to puzzlement and despair....Secondly, Skidelsky keeps the personality of Keynes in the center of the story."
Sylvia Nasar, New York Times Book Review, 01/20/2002
