A brilliant revisionist history of the English-speaking peoples which deserves to be put into the hands of every teenager (LITERARY REVIEW)
Magnificently provoking. ... A worthy successor to Churchill's history of the same subject ... This is not a book for those who like their history written in various shades of apologetic grey. This is history written with the author's heart on his sleeve. This is a work of astonishing range and depth, combining as it does a polemical flair with sure-footed scholarship (NEW STATESMAN)
Now Andrew Roberts the celebrated biographer of Lord Halifax and Salisbury, takes the story to the present day in his own epic (EVENING STANDARD)
This book takes no prisoners. It is a bold, uncompromising trumpet blast in celebration of the political, economic and cultural achievements of the English-Speaking Peoples in the 20th century and until the present day ... Roberts is never without a trenchant opinion or a scathing denunciation of humbug. In robust prose and armed with immense learning, he is always readable and never loses sight of his overarching theme (DAILY EXPRESS)
This book makes exhilarating reading if you believe all has been and remains right with the world as long as the English-speaking peoples are in charge (DAILY MAIL)
He has interesting and perceptive things to say about the more exotic aspects of the Anglo-Saxon diaspora (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)
In Roberts, the Anglo-American-Australian-Canadian-Kiwi Special Relationship has found an advocate of Churchillian eloquence (MAIL ON SUNDAY)
Full of detail, enriched by pen-portraits, opinionated and provocative (DAILY TELEGRAPH)
To continue the great work of Winston Churchill is a mighty challenge but Andrew Roberts carries it off brilliantly (MILITARY ILLUSTRATED)
It is beautifully written and will be widely read (FINANCIAL TIMES)
'Roberts boldly dons Churchill's own mantle, setting out to continue where Churchill's four volumes left off, which was in 1901. The mantle fits ... an advocate of Churchillian eloquence' Mail on Sunday
Andrew Roberts, Wolfson History prize-winner, brilliantly reveals what made the English-speaking people the preeminent political culture since 1900, and how what connects them is far greater than what separates them. This is an enthralling account covering the four world-historical struggles in which the English-speaking peoples have been engaged: the wars against German nationalism, Axis fascism, Soviet communism and fundamentalist terrorism.
Authoritative and engrossing, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples also deals with the cultural, social and political history of the English global diaspora.
