Michael Burleigh, LITERARY REVIEW
'a brilliant revisionist history of the English-speaking peoples which deserves to beput into the hands of every teenager.'
Review
'a brilliant revisionist history of the English-speaking peoples which deserves to beput into the hands of every teenager.' (Michael Burleigh LITERARY REVIEW )
'Now Andrew Roberts the celebrated biographer of Lord Halifax and Salisbury, takes the story to the present day in his own epic.' (Brendan Simms EVENING STANDARD )
'Magnificently provoking. ... A worthy successor to Churchill's history of the same subject. ... This is not a book for those who like their history written in various shades of apologetic grey. This is history written with the author's heart on his sleeve. This is a work of astonishing range and depth, combining as it does a polemical flair with sure-footed scholarship.' (Hywel Williams NEW STATESMAN )
'This book takes no prisoners. It is a bold, uncompromising trumpet blast in celebration of the political, economic and cultural achievements of the English-Speaking Peoples in the 20th century and until the present day. ... Roberts is never without a trenchant opinion or a scathing denunciation of humbug. In robust prose and armed with immense learning, he is always readable and never loses sight of his overarching theme.' (Christopher Silvester DAILY EXPRESS )
'This book makes exhilarating reading if you believe all has been and remains right with the world as long as the English-speaking peoples are in charge.' (Peter Lewis THE DAILY MAIL )
'he has interesting and perceptive things to say about the more exotic aspects of the Anglo-Saxon diaspora.' (Richard Overy THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH )
'In Roberts, the Anglo-American-Australian-Canadian-Kiwi Special Relationship has found an advocate of Churchillian eloquence.' (Niall Ferguson THE MAIL ON SUNDAY )
'full of detail, enriched by pen-portraits, opinionated and provocative.' (Allan Massie THE DAILY TELEGRAPH )
'To continue the great work of Winston Churchill is a mighty challenge but Andrew Roberts carries it off brilliantly.' (Tim Newark MILITARY ILLUSTRATED )
'it is beautifully written and well be widely read.' (Vernon Bagdanor THE FINANCIAL TIMES )
'I read this book with much pleasure and instruction. To resume reading so large a tome with anticipation of enjoyment is testimony to the skill of the author; and, when all is said and done, the achievement of the Engish-speaking peoples is great.' (Anthony Daniels THE SPECTATOR )
'Andrew Roberts has written an extraordinarily wide-ranging, stimulating and necessary book.' (Denis Judd HISTORY TODAY )
'a compelling - and distinctively British - guide to the story of the English-speaking peoples.' (Richard Aldous THE IRISH TIMES )
