Trade Review
"Winkler’s monumental and remarkably accessible account of the years from 1914 to 1945 combines narrative with an astute analysis of military, political and social history… Winkler’s judgement is always sound, his narrative analysis always gripping and insightful."—Robert Gerwarth, Irish Times

"A splendid translation of his magisterial study of the ‘West.'"— Richard Overy, Literary Review

"An extraordinary tour de force. . . . An equally powerful and knowledgeable panorama of the western world in the era of its greatest disaster."—Ian Kershaw, author of Hitler
