A History of the English-Speaking Peoples since 1900 by Andrew Roberts
Prize-winning British historian tells the story of the English-speaking peoples in the 20th century - 'Magnificently provoking' New Statesman
A brilliant revisionist history of the English-speaking peoples which deserves to be put into the hands of every teenager * LITERARY REVIEW *
Magnificently provoking... A worthy successor to Churchill's history of the same subject ... This is not a book for those who like their history written in various shades of apologetic grey. This is history written with the author's heart on his sleeve. This is a work of astonishing range and depth, combining as it does a polemical flair with sure-footed scholarship * NEW STATESMAN *
Now Andrew Roberts the celebrated biographer of Lord Halifax and Salisbury, takes the story to the present day in his own epic * EVENING STANDARD *
This book takes no prisoners. It is a bold, uncompromising trumpet blast in celebration of the political, economic and cultural achievements of the English-Speaking Peoples in the 20th century and until the present day ... Roberts is never without a trenchant opinion or a scathing denunciation of humbug. In robust prose and armed with immense learning, he is always readable and never loses sight of his overarching theme * DAILY EXPRESS *
This book makes exhilarating reading if you believe all has been and remains right with the world as long as the English-speaking peoples are in charge * DAILY MAIL *
He has interesting and perceptive things to say about the more exotic aspects of the Anglo-Saxon diaspora * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
In Roberts, the Anglo-American-Australian-Canadian-Kiwi Special Relationship has found an advocate of Churchillian eloquence * MAIL ON SUNDAY *
Full of detail, enriched by pen-portraits, opinionated and provocative * DAILY TELEGRAPH *
To continue the great work of Winston Churchill is a mighty challenge but Andrew Roberts carries it off brilliantly * MILITARY ILLUSTRATED *
It is beautifully written and will be widely read * FINANCIAL TIMES *
I read this book with much pleasure and instruction. To resume reading so large a tome with anticipation of enjoyment is testimony to the skill of the author; and, when all is said and done, the achievement of the Engish-speaking peoples is great * SPECTATOR *
Andrew Roberts has written an extraordinarily wide-ranging, stimulating and necessary book * HISTORY TODAY *
A compelling - and distinctively British - guide to the story of the English-speaking peoples * IRISH TIMES *
