Media Reviews
His achievment is to explain, lucidly & vividly, the bloodlines of the conflict... Kee makes jumping centuries seem easy and, with flashes of gallows humour, exhilarating * Thomas PAKENHAM *
Mr Kee writes with a combination of verve, clarity and insight * S. TEL. *
I have seldom, if ever, read anything so superbyly constructed...So evocative, so acute, so replete with perception, that it will inspire the reader to want to know more... * Brian Walden *
