She provides a compelling portrait of the key figures and conflicting ideologies of this time, giving an intimate view of an epoch that was soon to be swept away by the tide of history.'Her intention is to make the age alive for us, and in that she abundantly succeeds' Daily Telegraph'Tuchman has a gift of recreating a period and a mood by an inspired selection of detail and sheer narrative sweep. A volcano of a book' Evening Standard'Impeccable scholarship and literary polish.
