A History of the Twentieth Century: Volume 2, 1933-1951
"Martin Gilbert is the most prodigious author of our time...He is a phenomenon...In short, we have here a fascinating treatment that we can all profit by dipping into...I congratulate Gilbert on his good work and look forward to the next two volumes."  --Paul Johnson,The Sunday Times, London"The story of the century is being told over and over again...but rarely with the sensitivity that marks Gilbert's distinction as an author and a humanitarian. From his remarkably broad perspective, the story is often new. The memories are haunting in a way that no other medium can capture so lastingly." --Austin American-Statesman
