Recenzii

'This beautifully written and judicious work is by far the best account of the Warsaw Uprising to date. Drawing upon a wealth of archives and interviews, Richie meticulously traces the shocking details of the uprising from its planning stages to its sad end. The book vividly and in great detail describes the heroism and suffering of the people of Warsaw in their struggle against the Nazis without neglecting to address the wider issues such as the causes of the uprising, Stalin's criminal refusal to assist it in any way and the equally criminal Anglo-American unwillingness to put pressure on Stalin. This book is required reading for anybody interested in the history of the twentieth century.' Christopher W.A. Szpilman, Professor of Modern Japanese History, Kyushi Sangyo University, and son of Wladyslaw Szpilman, author of 'The Pianist' 'A great achievement. The book throws an enormous amount of new light on the military context of the uprising, which enables us to see in a new perspective a number of important issues, among them the decision to launch the uprising and the complexities of Stalin's attitude towards it. This will be the definitive work on the topic for many years to come' Antony Polonsky, Albert Abramson Professor of Holocaust Studies, Brandeis University Praise for 'Faust's Metropolis: A History of Berlin': 'A combination of scholarship, elegant writing and grasp of the subject that has few rivals' Alan Clark, Daily Telegraph 'This magnificent work should be required reading for anyone with any curiosity about where Europe has been and where it is going' Piers Paul Read, Sunday Telegraph 'Richie has done brilliant work ... the material is fascinating and she is an excellent descriptive writer' Ian Baruma, New York Review of Books 'This is a wonderfully rich book. Anyone who has ever felt the attraction of Berlin will revel in it. Those who have not done will do so as a result of reading it' Alan Massie, Daily Telegraph
