Reviews

‘High-speed, four-lane storytelling … Cohen’s all-action narrative bursts with colour and incident’
Financial Times ‘A rivetingly raw account’
Spectator ‘As effervescent, for more than four hundred pages, as its winsome and hyperactive characters’
New Yorker ‘Ambitious … a distressing, immersive recounting of how denial, passivity and pacification aided the rise of authoritarian regimes’
New York Times ‘Today the war news is available around the clock on TV screens, in print, and on the internet. Back then the best source of news was an intrepid band of young American newspaper correspondents … prodigious research and sparkling prose. The book is a model of its kind’
Wall Street Journal ‘Giddy with the tumultuous drama of the era… the rollicking group biography of a colourful cabal of American war reporters in the 1920s and 30s who landed seminal interviews with dictators and revolutionaries alike’ Marina Hyde, Favourite Reads of 2022 ‘Sheer brilliance of writing and storytelling . . . entwining collective biography with the urgency of journalism’s interwar critiques to produce a riveting and deeply thought-provoking read’ Charlotte Elkins ‘A fresh, fast-paced history of the twentieth-century’s most defining events through the eyes of the foreign correspondents who dashed off to cover them … A riveting narrative that unites public and private affairs with rare fluency and power’
Maya Jasanoff, author of The Dawn Watch ‘Beautifully written … A fascinating reminder of the days when first rate correspondents had not just access, time and money but real influence over world affairs’
Caroline Moorehead, author of Martha Gellhorn: A Life ‘Brilliantly conceived, beautifully written, this is a daring new history of the world between the wars …Unforgettable’
Adam Tooze, author of Shutdown
