Rezensionen

Every so often a book comes along that simply must be read. 1913 is such a work. Luminous and majestic, rich in detail and stunning in its depth of research, 1913 is a sweeping and haunting portrait of the world on the edge of the precipice... Read this book, but be prepared to stifle at the end of every page an urge to scream out a warning to those long since dead that they must take another road Wade Davis
