Review
Praise for THE THIRD REICH: 'This is writing of the highest order ! one can barely envisage a contemporary work of history more lucid, more penetrating or painted onto a broader canvas.' Financial Times 'Astonishing and awe-inspiring ! a breathtaking achievement, at once broader and deeper than any other single volume ever published on the subject ! it is the product of authentic historical genius.' Niall Ferguson, Sunday Times 'This is a monumental book, a tour de force.' Richard Overy, Sunday Telegraph 'Burleigh calls his work "a new history" and for once that claim is fully justified. An original work in which narrative history, rigorous analytic explanation and unblinking intellectual moral judgement are united with compelling originality.' Michael Andre Bernstein, Los Angeles Times 'Michael Burleigh has produced a modern classic ! this book is a masterwork.' Washington Times 'His narrative is eminently accessible, the formidable learning lightly worn, the canvas immense ! unpretentious and humane.' TLS

Literary Review
'this book is rich in so many incidents...and...figures...that it is hard in a review to tackle its-over-arching themes'

New Statesman
'EARTHLY POWERS is a superb book. Its conception is profound, its execution brilliant.'
