Media Reviews
'distinguished book' -- Andrew Roberts Sunday Telegraph 'Jackson tells this epic story with skill and understanding. His smartly produced book presents an admirably rounded portrait of its enigmatic subject, using telling quotations to probe a man who contained as many contradictions as the country with which he so thoroughly identified.' -- Jonathan Fenby BBC History Magazine
