"Not many books about the past illuminate the present, but this is one of them, and it deserves to be widely read."--Richard Gott, The Guardian
"An astonishing amount of information, and of thought-provoking ideas, is compressed into a remarkably small amount of space...the standard of accuracy and clarity is very high, the style of presentation admirable. The author should - again - be congratulated."--Alec Nove, New Society
"In this short and lively account he sets down exactly what he thinks took place, with perfect impartiality...there could hardly be a better introduction to one of the principal subjects in current affairs."--Economist
"Here we have an absolutely first-class work in its own right...Carr will be remembered and consulted as long as his subject remains interesting, which is likely to be for a fair while yet."--Ken Coates, Tribune
"Every statement, indeed every sentence is based upon a minute, careful and well documented study."--H.S. Ferns, Birmingham Post
