5.0 out of 5 stars
In general very well selected and written,
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Concise Dictionary of Great 20th Century Biographies (Hardcover)
This volume of three- hundred biographical sketches generally chooses very worthy and memorable subjects. It avoids the monstrous evil names, and focuses more on those of considerable positive achievement. It is generally accurate, and I found that in reading biographies of people whose stories I know well, for instance Kafka and Salinger that there was 'new information' for me also.Though there are some entries I would have preferred not seeing , and which I thought misleading, in general this is truly a fine piece of work.
