Riotous and engrossing Independent

"Riotous and engrossing" Independent "Snyder's portrait of the Hapsburgs in all their eccentricity is a delight...Snyder is exceptional in bringing not only a vast expertise to the subject, but also an elegant style and a gift for narrative" Sunday Times "As a vivid portrait of a vanished world the book is superb, being both prodigiously researched and elegantly written" Daily Telegraph "Timothy Snyder is not only one of the leading authorities on Central European history writing today, he is also an elegant stylist, with a talent for storytelling - a wonderful combination." -- Anne Applebaum "He is one of this country's most talented and innovative historians of Central and Eastern Europe...
