Praise for Volker Ullrich [Volker Ullrich] writes in enviably engaging and flowing prose (ably translated here by Jefferson Chase) and makes excellent use of a rich range of diaries and memoirs covering the events.-- Richard J. Evans, The NationGripping, immaculately researched.-- Andrew Stuttaford, The Wall Street JournalVolker Ullrich works like a master chef: He trusts his ingredients and uses them with great care. . . . It is exactly this impressive restraint which gives the book its two important qualities: It is both reliable and enormously entertaining.-- Timur Vermes, author of Look Who's Back
