Reviews

'Lucid, pacy and readable.' Bryan Appleyard, New Statesman 'This fascinating book illuminates the complex relations between Germany, America and Russia during the space race of the Cold War years!'The Space Race' is much sharper than the usual television tie-in ! Heroes, villains and victims populate this gripping story.' Maggie Gee, Daily Telegraph Praise for Deborah Cadbury: 'The Lost King of France': 'This is history as it should be. It is stunningly written, I could not put it down. This is the best account of the French Revolution I have ever read.' Alison Weir 'The Dinosaur Hunters': 'Beautifully structured and sympathetically narrated, Cadbury's book benefits from having a subject that successfully brings together science, suspense and sentiment. Something for everyone, then.' Miranda Seymour, Sunday Times
