POISONED PEACE

"* `Beautifully written, admirably researched, utterly riveting` - Allan Massie, Daily Telegraph * `A brilliant account; imaginative and wildly ambitious.` - J.B. Pick, The Scotsman * `Dallas is a visual historian.` - John Crossland, Independent on Sunday * `His approach is thematic, eclectic and discursive...It reads like a conversation with a sympathetic guide,...and Dallas convincingly demonstates that where we are can be understood only by where we were.` - The Daily Telegraph * `This is a not-to-be-forgotten read by an author of outstanding quality` - The Spectator * `Not a conventional history of 1945... but highly visual, and there is certainly much enjoyment and instruction to be derived from this book.
