A.J.P. Taylor (1906-1990) was one of the most controversial historians of the twentieth century. He served as a lecturer at the Universities of Manchester, Oxford, and London.
Taylor's most perfect work of art, a miracle of proportion,
language and insight
*Robert Skidelsky*
A dazzling exercise in revisionism which summed up Taylor's
paradoxical, provocative and inventive approach to history
*The Times*
Taylor was a lifelong dissenter ... at his best - as in The Origins
of the Second World War ... he shifted the gorund of major
debates
*Financial Times*
No historian of the past century has been more accessible
*Sunday Telegraph*
An almost faultless masterpiece
*Observer*
Highly original and penetrating ... No one who has digested this
enthralling work will ever be able to look at the period again in
quite the same way
*Sunday Telegraph*
