Product Description
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
'There is much that is good in it.' Spectator
