REVIEWS

TLS 13.01.2012 Review

The Spectator 21.11.09

“These are the first four volumes to appear of an ambitious publishing venture which will eventually comprise some 32 biographies of the leading participants in the Paris Peace Conference, one for each of the nations engaged. The conception is magnificent.”

“the best are outstanding. Lloyd George, by Alan Sharp, is shrewd, incisive and learned, a masterpiece of analytical narrative by a notable authority on the international relations of the period”

“These books form part of a series called Makers of the Modem World. Publishers' titles of this kind are often little more than puffing. But this series earns its puff. 'In victory, magnanimity' was the motto of Churchill's history of the second world war. These books are a sombre confirmation of its wisdom, and required reading for any one who wants to understand how the world has got where it has.”

'A beautifully produced Series '

'The Allied 'big three' lead the first six titles...All three capture and convey the essential tragedies of their subjects'

'Two titles, both by Jonathan Clements, give a wealth of much needed detail...'

The Literary Review

‘It is greatly to be welcomed that the small but very active press Haus Publishing has embarked on Makers of the Modern World, an ambitious series of small biographies of the men present at the negotiating table'

‘It is v to have a series of biographies that focus attention on the human factor of great historical events....’

'A useful resource for investigating the individual dimensions in global events.'
