--Richard Norton Smith, Wall Street Journal "A sweeping-yet-concise introduction to the most brilliant, infuriating, and ineffably French of men."
--Ross Douthat, New York Times "Classically composed and authoritative...Jackson writes wonderful political history."
--Adam Gopnik, New Yorker "A remarkable book in which the man widely chosen as the Greatest Frenchman is dissected, intelligently and lucidly, then put together again in an extraordinary fair-minded, highly readable portrait. Throughout, the book tells a thrilling story."
--Antonia Fraser, New Statesman "Makes awesome reading, and is a tribute to the fascination of its subject, and to Jackson's mastery of it...A triumph, and hugely readable."
--Max Hastings, Sunday Times
