Review
"One Hundred Letters from Hugh Trevor-Roper, written through seven decades to a variety of people, provides a more rounded and revealing portrait. As Richard Davenport-Hines and Adam Sisman, the collection's insightful editors, note in their introduction: 'The letters are distillations of a historian's wisdom.' Trevor-Roper's private self, at least in these letters, was not always nice, but it was often wise." --Martin Rubin, Wall Street Journal
"One of the greatest prose stylists in the English language."
John Banville, The New York Review of Books reviewing Trevor-Roper's Wartime Journals
"Hugh Trevor-Roper was probably the greatest letter writer of what Noel Annan called 'our age', corresponding with almost anybody who was anybody, and in a style that was both inimitable and incomparable. This latest anthology is by turns memorable, fascinating, wicked and malicious, and impossible to put down." --Sir David Cannadine
