Reviews

Wonderful... a work that will fascinate. A splendid little book... [with] magnificent illustrations. Taylor is interesting on the great 'Careless talk costs lives' posters. This is a terrific little tome. The word 'charming' is hard not to overuse here. -- Amazon reviewer. History written in a most riveting and readable style. An excellent work... one of the best books I have ever read. -- Amazon reviewer.
