Hugh Sebag-Montefiore

HA
 Telegraph Best Book of the Year
“[Sebag-Montefiore] utilizes the
intimate archives of letters, diaries,
and dispatches to produce a far
more detailed and individualized
portrait of the subject than earlier
big single-volume treatments…The
narrative moves easily from the
larger logistical tangles back at
headquarters to the experiences of
the men fighting in the front lines,
and Sebag-Montefiore is every bit
as authoritative writing about the
birth of air and tank warfare as he
is picking apart the psychologies of
the men involved…[An] enormously
satisfying book.”

 Telegraph “Best History Books for Christmas” Selection
“Pieter M. Judson’s book informs and stimulates. If his account of
Habsburg achievements, especially in the 18th century, is rather
starry-eyed, it is a welcome corrective to the black legend usually
presented. Lucid, elegant, full of surprising and illuminating details,
it can be warmly recommended to anyone with an interest in
modern European history.”

The Triumph of Empire

The Roman World from Hadrian to Constantine
Michael Kulikowski

“This is a wonderfully broad sweep of Roman history. It tells the
fascinating story of imperial rule from the enigmatic Hadrian
through the dozens of warlords and usurpers who fought for
the throne in the third century AD, to the Christian emperors of
the fourth—after the biggest religious and cultural revolution
the world has ever seen.”

“[A] brilliant, theologically sophisticated exploration of the
Catholic experience of God’s presence through the material
world…On every level—from its sympathetic, honest, and sometimes moving ethnography to its astute analytical observations—
this book is a scholarly masterpiece.”
—A. W. Klink, Choice

Charlemagne
Johannes Fried
Translated by Peter Lewis
“Charlemagne is relentless in
the accumulation of detail and
austerely comprehensive in its
endnotes…This Charles the Great
is unmistakably Karl der Grosse…
Matching the mood of our times,
blood-flecked Realpolitik and
smoldering religious intolerance
are very much to the fore…Few
[Charlemagne biographies] capture
so well the unlovely realities of
Carolingian politics and the sheer
technical difficulty of ruling a
medieval empire in the absence
of a state apparatus.”
—Michael Kulikowski,
Wall Street Journal
“In this splendid biography, Fried
shows that Charlemagne remains
a figure to be reckoned with even
12 centuries after his death.”

“A good measure of a work of history is whether it changes the way we
understand its subject. By that measure, David J. Silverman succeeds
admirably in Thundersticks…In Silverman’s sober, sprawling account,
America is a nation built on slaves and guns.”

The War Within

Diaries from the Siege of Leningrad
Alexis Peri

“By mining an extraordinarily rich treasure trove of unpublished diaries,
Peri moves beyond relating what happened during the blockade and
instead explains how Leningraders made sense of it. Sophisticated,
nuanced, and extremely well written, The War Within is a major contribution to our understanding of the mentality of Leningrad’s civilians
during the blockade and the role that diaries played in Soviet history.”

organizations that constituted it were often driven by political
ideology…[An] engrossing book.”

The Good Occupation

American Soldiers and the Hazards of Peace
Susan L. Carruthers
“A disturbing look at the experiences of the ‘after-army’: the
American service-people who stayed on active duty after the
Second World War, charged with rebuilding the places they had
helped to destroy. Frank, often harsh voices from letters, diaries
and memoirs serve up ‘inconvenient truths’: the armed forces’
caste system and racism; casual cruelty and venality trumping
conscience; ‘fraternisation’ (and prostitution and rape) with
‘blowsy frauleins’ and ‘anxious to please’ Japanese maids.”

of revolutionary change in warfare; find ways to keep servicemen and women connected to those in whose name they serve;
recognize that the American military’s advantage over potential
enemies is more human than technological. This is a book for
scholars, students, soldiers, and citizens.”

timely and important reminder that writing, reading, and thinking about religion were just as essential to people’s religious

Éamon de Valera

A Will to Power
Ronan Fanning

“[A] sharp new biography
of de Valera.”
—Fintan O’Toole,
New York Review of Books
“De Valera is the subject of many
biographies, including several
authorized productions that he
carefully supervised. But Éamon de
Valera: A Will to Power, by Ronan
Fanning, stands out…An astute,
nuanced and highly readable life
that manages to be both sharply
critical and expansive in its
judgments. In this era of doorstop
biographies, Fanning deserves
extra praise for accomplishing all
this in a trim 300 pages.”
—Michael O’Donnell,

“As Benjamin G. Martin shows in his bold and impressive book,
Germany, in close collaboration with Mussolini’s Italy, tried to recast
European culture in accordance with their ideological aims…Martin’s
book is a work of great originality because it does not focus on the
art, nor on individual artists, film-makers and writers, but instead
draws our attention to the policies enacted by the Nazi-fascist
regimes to transform the cultural market.”

Indeed, if the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s captures a distinctive

The First Crusade
The Call from the East
Peter Frankopan
“Highly readable…The First
Crusade tells a complex story,
but its presentation of political
machinations, compromises, and
betrayals seems utterly convincing.
The harsh truths of realpolitik are,
alas, with us always.”
—Michael Dirda,
Washington Post
“Frankopan’s qualities as a historian
and a writer are of a high order…It is
pleasing to see [the Byzantine view
of the First Crusade] updated with
scholarship and flair.”

“At once a gripping history, a dizzying synthesis of Enlightenment
philosophical currents, and a breathtaking feat of original archival
research, [Coronado’s] book merits reading by anyone interested in
American literature, Latina/o studies, economic history, or Western
philosophy. A World Not to Come demands that we recalibrate our
sense of what ‘American’ literary history looks like.”

A History

Michael North
Translated by Kenneth Kronenberg

“The book shines when the author writes about the region’s
cultural history, particularly in medieval times…North’s book
provides a valuable service in underlining the centrality of the
Baltic region to Europe’s past. The way things are going, it may
determine the continent’s future, too.”

elegantly written and cogently argued narrative of how Americans
spent down the planetary savings account of solar energy amassed

The Botany of Empire in the
Long Eighteenth Century
Edited by Yota Batsaki • Sarah Burke Cahalan • Anatole Tchikine
The Botany of Empire in the Long Eighteenth Century brings
together an international body of scholars to examine the figure
of the botanical explorer; links between imperial ambition and
the impulse to survey, map, and collect specimens in “new”
territories; and relationships among botanical knowledge, selfrepresentation, and material culture.

The Future of the Past

New Perspectives on Ukrainian History
Edited by Serhii Plokhy
Ukraine is in the midst of the worst international crisis in East–West
relations since the Cold War, and history itself has become a battleground in Russia–Ukraine relations. The Future of the Past shows how
the study of Ukraine’s past enhances our understanding of Europe,
Eurasia, and the world—past, present, and future.

Peasants, Power, and Place

Revolution in the Villages of Kharkiv Province, 1914–1921
Mark R. Baker
Mark R. Baker focuses on Ukrainian-speaking peasants during
the 1914–1921 revolutionary period. Arguing that the peasants of
Kharkiv province thought of themselves primarily as members
of their particular village communities, and not as members of
any nation or class, he advances the historiography beyond the
ideologized categories of the Cold War.

The Battle for Ukrainian

A Comparative Perspective

Edited by Michael S. Flier • Andrea Graziosi • Lubomyr A. Hajda
The Ukrainian language has followed a tortuous path over 150 years
of tsarist, Soviet, and post-Soviet history. The Battle for Ukrainian
documents that path, and serves as an interdisciplinary study
essential for understanding language, history, and politics in both
Ukraine and the postimperial world.

The Taming of
Free Speech

America’s Civil Liberties
Compromise
Laura Weinrib

“Utterly brilliant…Balanced and
restrained in her writing but original
and subversive in her argument,
Weinrib stops short of offering
morals from this history…Most
important, Weinrib reanimates a
strange time when the forces of
business and the forces of labor
were engaged in a pitched battle
about the way Americans should
construct their economy. When you
go looking for the origins of civil
libertarianism, it turns out, you find
a class struggle…Weinrib’s book is
an extraordinary reminder of why
history matters to the present.”
—Samuel Moyn, Wall Street Journal
“The Taming of Free Speech is…a
complex story about the evolution
of political and legal tactics
within competing organizations
and among the notable cast of
characters at their helm…[A]
provocative book.”
—Sophia Rosenfeld, Dissent

 inner, Kościelski Award,
Kościelski Foundation

“Franaszek’s outstanding
biography of Czeslaw Milosz
narrates one of the great lives
of the twentieth century…
Milosz was an artist who was also a political thinker,
who stood in the center of the ideological debates of his
time, who was an incredibly industrious writer and on
top of all this had a sublime gift for poetry…A triumph.”

The Story of War

“Vividly written, clearly
argued, and full of telling
details, this is the most
accessible work available
that explains how memories
of wars have occupied a
preeminent part of the
Russian national mythology.”
