Review
“Lively writing, a wealth of historical detail and wide-ranging references from Aeschylus to Philip Pullman contribute to a work that successfully portrays its subject not as a hero, but as a complex, flawed human being. The bibliography and source notes are thorough and include a superb list of websites for listening to important political speeches. Exemplary history writing.”

Well researched, with sources, citations including Web sites, and bibliography, the book is simple but poetic.
