"John Lukacs has over the past forty years become one of the most
interesting and popular historical writes in the United States. . .

achievement. . . . Lukacs's prose gives pleasure to his readers. He
is a master of historical aphorisms and tart phrases that skewer
sloppy authors and hapless historical actors. . . . A graceful
