A masterpiece, a tour de force...Beautifully sculpted, it sustains its momentum to the last page...A magnificent and authoritative book.
J. J. Scarisbrick, Sunday Telegraph
Learned and controversial, it has all the elements of a detective story...His verdict is convincing...a fascinating book.
Lord Blake, Country Life
It is intelligently illuminating on both Wolsey and his world, and is especially good on the Church and foreign policy...It is indispensable
Christopher Haigh, Times Educational Supplement
A work of magisterial ambition and achievement...He has taken a great subject and transformed it.
Blair Worden, London Review of Books
