Editorial Reviews

Review

“A superb and immensely important book.” ―The Washington Post

“Lowe's work, thoroughly researched and written with scrupulous objectivity, promises to be the year's best book on European history.” ―Financial Times (UK)

“Deeply harrowing. Moving, measured and provocative. A compelling picture of a continent physically and morally brutalized by slaughter.” ―Sunday Times (UK)

“Graphic and chilling. This excellent book paints a little-known and frightening picture of a continent in the embrace of lawlessness and chaos.” ―Ian Kershaw Bestselling author of The End: The Defiance and Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1944-1945
