Erudite, readable and acerbic ... [a] historian who, almost 40
years after publishing his first book, is still at the very top of
his game.
*The Tablet*
This very readable collection poses some profound questions about
the use of the past and the relation between meticulous scholarship
and our understanding of the episodes that have contributed so
profoundly to the way in which we view the world in our own
day.
*Rt Revd Lord Chartres, former Bishop of London (Church Times)*
[A People’s Tragedy] is both a work of impressive scholarship and
fully accessible to the general reader with an interest in
history.
*Mercator*
