“A learned study of the concept of decline since the Enlightenment, sure to generate widespread discussion and debate.”
Kirkus Reviews
“The book will surely be controversial and subject to attack from all sides, for its author insists that we must hold McCarthy’s enemies and victims to the same standards to which we hold him. McCarthy himself was as much a phenomenon as McCarthyism.”
Publisher’s Weekly
“The rivalry between Winston Churchill and Mohandas Gandhi could hardly have been played for higher stakes. The future of British India hung upon the outcome of their 20-year struggle…. As one might expect from the author of To Rule the Waves, a fine history … Mr. Herman has researched Gandhi & Churchill meticulously and written it fluently.”
Wall Street Journal
“Professor Herman demonstrates an infectious and uplifting passion for his subject. Unlike many academics, he is a natural writer, weaving philosophical concerns seamlessly through a historical narrative.”
The Guardian
“Deeply researched and engagingly written, this is a gripping account of great battles won and lost, of a triumphant war followed by a failed peace, and of clashing ideologies that shaped a century.”
Robert Kagan
“One of the most important books I have ever read.”
