Kelly * Wall Street Journal * Praise for the author's A Brief History of Atlantis: As his exhaustive survey shows, Atlantis has been adapted to countless ideologies and agendas over time, serving the needs of every sort of reader - harmless hippies or Heinrich Himmler , in Mr Kershaw's memorable phrase. -- James Romm * Wall Street Journal * Praise for the author's A Brief Guide to the Greek Myths: Eminently sane, highly informative, and reasonably priced. -- Paul Cartledge * BBC History magazine *
