Rezensionen

'a masterpiece of even-handed scholarship, and will undoubtedly remain the definitive word on the conflict.'

Dominic Sandbrook, Daily Telegraph

'Freedman is not just a good historian but a terse, readable writer. This is a fine book about modern war, warts and all, in an age when such evenly balanced conflicts are rare.'

Simon Jenkins, Sunday Times

'Freedman has the rare gift of offering both strategic guidance and a fine grasp of tactical details.'
Jeremy Black

'In Lawrence Freedman, the campaign has found an impeccable chronicler'
Max Hastings, Sunday Telegraph

'Official this history certainly is, and something more. But is it definitive, critics may cry? With its personal panache and incisiveness, it is better than that - at least for this critic.' Robert Fox, Evening Standard

'fascinating, balanced, fantastically well-researched and well-written.' Andrew Roberts, New Statesman
