"In every way, A Most Dangerous Book is a most brilliant achievement." —Michael Dirda, Washington Post

Trade Review
"It is an extraordinary tale, and [Krebs]…tells it with great verve and charm…Entrancing." -- Ferdinand Mount - Wall Street Journal
"Tacitus's ghost, and the ghosts of those martyred in supposed obedience to his theories, still haunt us, as they should. Warm thanks to Christopher Krebs for feeding them the blood that has enabled them to speak." -- Anthony Grafton - London Review of Books
"Fascinating…[Krebs] lays out the recovery, of Germania, in 1455, like a detective story…He has a light touch and a dry sense of humor." -- Cullen Murphy - New York Times Book Review
"Clever, learned…[Krebs] synthesizes a great deal of classical scholarship and intellectual history into a concise, accessible story." -- Adam Kirsch - Slate
