A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Praise for Marcus Aurelius:

'McLynn has written a huge, erudite survey of the social, cultural, economic and political world of the second century AD ... There is much to enjoy here and even more to be learned. There is a splendid verve to McLynn's writing.' Allan Massie, Literary Review

'If you like your history feisty, opinionated and judgmental McLynn is the man for you. It certainly makes for a terrific read.' Peter Jones, BBC History Magazine

Praise for Lionheart and Lackland:

'Marvellously readable and strikingly opinionated... This is popular history as it should be written: full-blooded, yet firmly grounded in scholarship. ' Nigel Jones, Literary Review

'A rattling good read.' Spectator

Revue de presse :

"Epic...a comprehensive and engrossing account" (Brian MacArthur Literary Review)

"McLynn gives an honest, gruelling account of the longest most punishing campaign fought by the British during the Second World War" (Iain Finlayson The Times)

"Easily one of the best books he has written in a long and distinguished career... A marvellous subject, too" (Trevor Royle Sunday Herald)

"Magnificent...a closely woven, tightly argued and beautifully written account of the extraordinary men and women who were responsible for the higher direction of the war... This book delights, page after page. McLynn held me spellbound" (Robert Lyman BBC History Magazine)

"A riveting read" (Christopher Sylvester Daily Express)
