The feel-good place to buy books
1946: The Making of the Modern World by Victor Sebestyen
A compelling account of a crucial year in post-war history, in the tradition of Margaret MacMillan's award-winning and bestselling The Peacemakers.
This is an exceptionally involving and horrifying book. . heaven knows [Sebestyen] can tell a story. His short chapters are full of sharp judgements, apt and really colourful quotations and (I mean this as a compliment) grindingly awful detail. * Spectator *
