Produktbeschreibung

Critical Acclaim for ADENAUER "A gripping narrative . . . brings to life an intriguing historicalfigure . . . an enthralling perspective on the processes thatshaped the postwar world." --Daily Telegraph (London) "Charts the ironies of Adenauer's complicated life. This is thestory of a marathon man, but it is narrated at the pace of asprinter and with the elegance of a hurdler."--The Times(London) "Lucid and engaging. This is a well-researched and elegantlywritten volume which deserves a wider readership than the purelypolitical."--The Herald (Glasgow) "A highly readable, thoroughly reliable, intelligently criticallife-and-times. . . . This portrait does justice to a man who isoften invoked as a prophet of a United States of Europe, but whowas in truth the greatest of German patriots."--Literary Review(London) "Well-researched and admirably written . . . reveals Adenauer theman--with all his authority and strength, his persistence andendurance, and his streak of ruthlessness and politicalcunning."--The Independent (London) THE LAST GREAT FRENCHMAN "Knowledgeable, lucid . . . the best English biography of deGaulle."--The New York Times Book Review "Charles Williams has matched a great subject by something near toa great book."--Daily Telegraph (London)
