Review
"A great thumping triumph of a book." * Daily Telegraph * "Enjoyable and perceptive study ... Rounding has read widely, and writes punctilious, professional history with a no-nonsense style and a respectful relish for the details that make the past come alive." -- Simon Sebag Montefiore * Sunday Telegraph * "Rounding writes with enviable lucidity, and gives us the most accessible and enjoyable portrait yet." * Daily Mail * "Written with vigour and intelligence enough to do justice to its prodigious subject." * Sunday Times * "Rounding shows that ... the reality is far more interesting than any of the fictions." * Scotland on Sunday *
