The Triumph of the Dark: European International History, 1933-1939 (Oxford History of Modern Europe)
"A gigantic work of synthesis...a staggering achievement." -Literary Review"A remarkable achievement of conscientious scholarship." -New Statesman"A landmark event...Steiner's two volumes will undoubtedly become a standard work of reference for the two decades between the world wars...A distillation of a lifetime of fine scholarship, this is an invaluable account of one dimension of these complex and fateful years." -Britain and theWorld"A modern classic...magnificent... Authoritative and absorbing, Steiner's volume will stand the test of time." - Joe Maiolo,BBC History Magazine"A terrifically good read...a definitive account, the distillation of a lifetime's dedicated scholarship... No short review can do justice to the book's riches." -Piers Brendon, The Independent
