| Summary | Annotation Critical Acclaim for ADENAUER<br /><br />"A gripping narrative . . . brings to life an intriguing historical figure . . . an enthralling perspective on the processes that shaped the postwar world." ––Daily Telegraph (London)<br /><br />"Charts the ironies of Adenauer′s complicated life. This is the story of a marathon man, but it is narrated at the pace of a sprinter and with the elegance of a hurdler."––The Times (London)<br /><br />"Lucid and engaging. This is a well–researched and elegantly written volume which deserves a wider readership than the purely political."––The Herald (Glasgow)<br /><br />"A highly readable, thoroughly reliable, intelligently critical life–and–times. . . . This portrait does justice to a man who is often invoked as a prophet of a United States of Europe, but who was in truth the greatest of German patriots."––Literary Review (London)<br /><br />"Well–researched and admirably written . . . reveals Adenauer the man––with all his authority and strength, his persistence and endurance, and his streak of ruthlessness and political cunning."––The Independent (London)<br /><br />THE LAST GREAT FRENCHMAN<br /><br />"Knowledgeable, lucid . . . the best English biography of de Gaulle."––The New York Times Book Review<br /><br />"Charles Williams has matched a great subject by something near to a great book."––Daily Telegraph (London) |
