Reviews

''The best sort of history - revealing, gossipy and acidulous.' Piers Brendon, The Independent

'An elegantly written, thought-provoking book . an essential reappraisal of British myths since 1939.' Sarah Bradford, The Times

'A book of quite exceptional quality . Roberts resembles Lytton Strachey in his iconoclasm, and the brilliance of his writing.' John Grigg, The Sunday Telegraph

'There is certainly enough irreverence here - at his best, Roberts can be a splendidly caustic writer - to keep the sceptics cheering.' Anthony Howard, Sunday Times

'He argues powerfully - with a pen dipped in vitriol.' Peter Grosvenor, Daily Express

'Where Roberts outdoes Lytton Strachey is in his scholarship . Alpha double-plus.' Niall Ferguson, Daily Mail
