About this title

Review

"... a very, very distinguished book which - unlike so many others of its class - does not merely sum up, but also leads on. ... the intelligent reader will find in it a vigorous and stimulating introduction to a period in which so much that affects our own generation was stirring into life."
Geoffrey Barraclough, The Spectator

"... a well-ordered, balanced, scholarly, provocative and, above all, useful book ... deserves the highest praise as a worthy continuation of a great tradition. For so crammed an era it is hard to imagine a better guide in this compass."
The Times Literary Supplement
