Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“A richly illuminating study … [and] a timely meditation on the vicissitudes of abstract, purist ideals under the pressure of savage real-world events.”—George Prochnik, New York Times Book Review
“A thorough and fascinating chronicle.”—Brendan Simms, Wall Street Journal
“[A] finely grained portrait.”—Robert E. Norton, Times Literary Supplement
“[Robert Lerner] sets Kantorowicz in the context of his time, uniting heroic archival research, including numerous interviews with Kantorowicz's associates and friends, with discerning judgments to trace his remarkable odyssey. The result is a valuable contribution to modern European and American intellectual history.”—Jacob Heilbrunn, National Interest
“Lerner’s biography is worthy of great praise, and it is very unlikely that it will ever be superseded.”—Walter Laqueur, Jewish Review of Books
