"Clarke has created a brilliant popular history… he tells [the story] with such wit, verve and scholarly insight that one seems to encounter a brave new world." - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH.
"The Shakespearean fascination of Clarke's narrative concerns the nature of history... If that one incomparable character [Churchill] dominates the story, an extraordinary gallery of less striking players strut their hours in it: Roosevelt and Gandhi and Bevin and Montgomery and Uncle Joe Stalin; the austere Stafford Cripps, the hatchet-faced Molotov, Truman of Kansas City; rock-like General Marshall, the irrepressible General Patton." - GUARDIAN
"Clarke is an academic, but he hasn't allowed academic scruples to inhibit his talent for storytelling. He has a talent for pithily summing up characters." - TIMES (LONDON)
"Stimulating... This is a damn fine book, and deserves to be widely read." - TORONTO GLOBE & MAIL "A bold and thought-provoking work, as well as hugely enjoyable read." - INDEPENDENT
