Recensioner i media

'‘An Age of Progress?’ is a remarkable book. Readable yet scholarly, balanced yet challenging, expansive yet detailed, the book is a sort of model for the way 'big' history should be written. If you seek insight into the meaning of the twentieth century for the twenty first, you should read this book.' —Marshall Poe, ‘New Books in History’
