From Napoleon to Stalin and Other Essays

'...I rejoice to hail E.H.Carr as the greatest historian of our age.' - A.J.P. Taylor, Observer

'...In this volume, Mr Carr...has gathered together a selection of essays and book reviews writtenover the past thirty years. It is astonishing how well they withstand reprinting and the passage of time...Mr Carr has an uncanny knack for reaching to the very heart of a situation or an individual and using this central point from which to display in the round a man or his times or a historical or political theme.' - Lionel Kochan, British Book News

'...Every item in this collection displays the virtues which the readers have come to expect from Mr Carr - clarity of expression, a wide range of detailed knowledge and a kind of intellectual tough-mindedness.' - M.S. Anderson, Times Higher Education Supplement
