Reviews
"One of the greatest non-fiction books I've ever read . . . Hughes brings us an entire world." -- Los Angeles Times "A great achievement: Hughes has a story to tell as vivid, large-scale, and appalling as anything by Dickens or Solzhenitsyn, but one that's virtually unknown--until the writing of this splendid book." --Susan Sontag "Engrossing . . . richly peopled with bizarre and compelling characters." -- The New York Times Book Review "A magnificent history, with a richness of detail that is as mesmerizing as it is horrifying. . . . It is both passionate and compassionate." -- The Washington Post Book World "Splendid . . . Robert Hughes combines the narrative skills of the authors of Mutiny on the Bounty with the sharp eye of de Tocqueville." --Gorde Vidal "A brilliant and enduring achievement . . . history of the highest order combining thorough research with vivid narrative and thoughtful assessment." --Arthur M. Schlesinger, "A brilliant and enduring achievement...history of the highest order combining thorough research with vivid narrative and thoughtful assessment."--Arthur M. Schlesinger

    This shipped quickly and was safely packaged since they are fragile items. They were described and photographed well in the listing and are a very good value.

    Fantastic seller, very delighted with my experience. Seller was responsive and the books were packaged thoughtfully for shipping, which, despite being delayed (at no fault of seller), I’m thrilled that these books survived the rough handling of shipping thanks to the great packaging. Books arrived in condition exactly as listed. Thank you!
