Critics Review
Praise for Robert K. Massie’s Dreadnought
“Dreadnought is history in the grand manner, as most people prefer it: how people shaped, or were shaped by, events.” —Time
“A classic [that] covers superbly a whole era … engrossing in its glittering gallery of characters.” —Chicago Sun-Times
“[Told] on a grand scale … Massie [is] a master of historical portraiture and anecdotage.” —The Wall Street Journal
“Brilliant on everything he writes about ships and the sea. It is Massie’s eye for detail that makes his nautical set pieces so marvelously evocative.” —Los Angeles Times
