A gripping narrative . . . brings to life an intriguing historical figure . . . an enthralling perspective on the processes that shaped the postwar world. --Daily Telegraph (London)
Charts the ironies of Adenauer's complicated life. This is the story of a marathon man, but it is narrated at the pace of a sprinter and with the elegance of a hurdler. --The Times (London)
Lucid and engaging. This is a well-researched and elegantly written volume which deserves a wider readership than the purely political. --The Herald (Glasgow)

Well-researched and admirably written . . . reveals Adenauer the man--with all his authority and strength, his persistence and endurance, and his streak of ruthlessness and political cunning. --The Independent (London)
