In Edward Hallet Carr's definitive biography Jonathan Haslam paints a compelling portrait of a man torn between a vicarious identification with the romance of revolution and the ruthless realism of his own intellectual formation.
... fine, thorough, well-balanced. * Sunday Telegraph *
1999 Outstanding Academic Book of the Year. * Choice *
A penetrating, lucid, intellectual biography. -- George Steiner
A remarkable biography of a fascinating figure and in this case not 'too soon'. * The Guardian *
Excellent results for our understanding of this unusually complicated and highly individualistic historian, but also for our understanding of his times. * the National Interest *
Haslam charts with thoroughness every twist and turn in Carr's long odyssey, which was marked with ferocious independence of thought. * History Today *
This book will probably remain Carr's definitive biography. * Times Literary Supplement *
