''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
