More praise for Robert K. Massie and Dreadnought
“A saga elegantly spun out in palaces and cabinet rooms, on the decks of royal yachts and the bridges of battleships, in Europe’s spas and country houses … [with] clarity and humor … [and] subtle appreciation for interplay of personalities.”
The Washington Post
“Adorned with colorful, often elegantly written sketches of all the main characters and many minor ones … Unfailingly scrupulous in his judgments of people … Massie’s achievement [is] boiling down great quantities of diplomatic and naval history in a single volume. Apart from Barbara Tuchman, Massie has no competitor in this field. His book will be widely read and deservedly so.”
The London Times
“Rich … Massie recreates events leading to the war in the epic style of Nicholas and Alexandra and Peter the Great.”
Newsweek
“A wonderful book. A marvelous story, sure to stand with Barbara Tuchman’s The Guns of August.”
The Dallas Morning News
“Dreadnought is Massie’s finest achievement as a historian. The writing is vivid, the personalities are fascinating, and the events are of compelling interest.… Impossible for the reader to lay aside.”
Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Epic, a compelling tale.”
The Denver Post
