SAVAGE CONTINENT REVIEWS
'Savage Continent is a powerful and disturbing book, painstakingly researched and written with both authority and an impressive historical sweep. It is also a timely book that deserves to be read by anyone who wishes to understand the complex nature of Europe and the deep trauma suffered not only during the Second World War but in its chaotic aftermath' James Holland, author of Fortress Malta and The Battle of Britain
