A breathtaking, magisterial panorama, telling the epic story of post-war anarchy, dying empires and rising nation states. It makes us rethink our understanding of Europe's twentieth century
David Motadel, The Times Literary Supplement
Lucid, incisive and packed with fascinating details
Financial Times, Books of the Year
Important and timely . . . obliges us to reconsider a period and a battlefront that has too often been neglected
Margaret MacMillan, The New York Times Review of Books
This narrative of continent-wide chaos performs a valuable service by chronicling the postwar turmoil of Europe . . . helps us understand why few wars reach tidy conclusions
Max Hastings, Sunday Times
Reminds us, in vivid and often shocking detail, that only some countries saw killing end on the 11th day of the 11th month . . . leaves a sense of foreboding for our own time
Robert Tombs, The Times
