Recenzii
Review
from
previous
edition
makes
other
denizens
of
the
depot
look
like
slowcoaches.
...
The
editors,
both
of
irresistible
persuasiveness
and
prestige,
have
secured,
in
most
cases,
the
best-qualified
contributors
in
the
world.
...Most
of
the
regional
and
chronological
chapters
are
composed
by
masters
of
summation.
...
This
is
a
small
book
but
a
big
achievement:
a
model
of
ambition
without
pretension,
of
compression
without
compromises.
Refreshing
possibly the two men in the English-speaking world best qualified to edit such a compilation ... this is pre-eminently a book for the general reader ... They write with such style and panache as well as obvious mastery of their subjects, and one reads them as much for pleasure as for instruction. ... This is a book to be heartily recommended.
splendid, edited by two distinguished historians who have assembled a team of over 20 scholars outstanding in their comprehensive precision and clarity ... this book is a solid, readable and reliable guide to the past century. Most readers will be pleased, and often surprised, by the skill with which its complex events have been set in their context.
It's an impressive survey, deftly handled and wise in its judgements.
