Review
`Jardine's book is masterly, because she captures in a snapshot the mood or ethos of the era. She draws on archives, literature, science and art to paint images as richly evocative as a Rembrandt. This is very much a book for our time.' Sunday Times`Ingenious...a refreshing foray into an area often neglected by historians.' Independent`An enthralling train ride of a book, light, swift and perfectly prepared...An engrossing spritely read.' Observer`Lisa Jardine has written with her typical flair, the prehistory of our haunted obsession with the handgun.' Scotland on Sunday`Recounts the events leading up to [Prince William's] death with concision and clarity.' Financial Times`Lively and thought-provoking; the perfect length for an evening read.' Sunday Telegraph`Nobody can explain factual history more clearly than Jardine.' The Times
