Beskrivning

These essays now reprinted and prefaced by Jonathan Haslam, E.H. Carr's biographer, give the reader a representative sample of Carr's interests over several decades. They include picture portraits of figures, both major and minor, from the 19th and 20th centuries, some of whom he knew firsthand. The essays also reflect on the major events and their impact including the Paris peace settlement of 1919 and the legacy of Stalin in Russian history.

'...I rejoice to hail E.H.Carr as the greatest historian of our age.' - A.J.P. Taylor, Observer '...In this volume, Mr Carr...has gathered together a selection of essays and book reviews writtenover the past thirty years. It is astonishing how well they withstand reprinting and the passage of time...Mr Carr has an uncanny knack for reaching to the very heart of a situation or an individual and using this central point from which to display in the round a man or his times or a historical or political theme.' - Lionel Kochan, British Book News '...Every item in this collection displays the virtues which the readers have come to expect from Mr Carr - clarity of expression, a wide range of detailed knowledge and a kind of intellectual tough-mindedness.' - M.S. Anderson, Times Higher Education Supplement
