| Critical Acclaim for ADENAUER "A gripping narrative . . . brings to life an intriguing historical figure . . . an enthralling perspective on the processes that shaped the postwar world." ––Daily Telegraph (London)
"Charts the ironies of Adenauer’s complicated life. This is the story of a marathon man, but it is narrated at the pace of a sprinter and with the elegance of a hurdler."––The Times (London) "Lucid and engaging. This is a well-researched and elegantly written volume which deserves a wider readership than the purely political."––The Herald (Glasgow) "A highly readable, thoroughly reliable, intelligently critical life-and-times. . . . This portrait does justice to a man who is often invoked as a prophet of a United States of Europe, but who was in truth the greatest of German patriots."––Literary Review (London) "Well-researched and admirably written . . . reveals Adenauer the man––with all his authority and strength, his persistence and endurance, and his streak of ruthlessness and political cunning."––The Independent (London)
