A bravura examination of political power ... Clark displays [his] brilliance and bracing intellect to exhilarating effect ... The pleasure of Clark's writing is that it embraces an impressive spectrum of thought, without ever losing sight of the historical truth, or of the difficulty in reaching it. -- Andrew Anthony * The Guardian *
A resounding success ... [Clark] has a knack for writing accounts of the past that make waves in the present. In Prisoners of Time, Clark brings the same complexity to the subject of history itself ... Erudite. -- Jeremy Cliffe * New Statesman *
