Philip Ziegler has written for various newspapers and journals and was editor-in-chief at Collins from 1979 to 1980. He is also an award-winning biographer who counts among his subjects two kings and four prime ministers.
"Between the Wars by Philip Ziegler, biographer, historian and
scholar, born in 1929, is a fascinating, panoramic overview of the
decades that preceded and followed his birth, encapsulating a world
balanced precariously on the cusp of peace and conflict . . . In
prose of crystalline elegance, Ziegler travels chronologically
across countries and continents."
--Spectator
"Each chapter bears the unmistakable stamp of Ziegler's
scholarship: a keen eye for the telling anecdote, elegant and fluid
prose, and calm and fair judgments. In a world that grows ever more
uncertain, its perspective of how hopes of peace can dissolve into
the promise of war becomes more relevant with each passing
day."
---What is that Book About
"Ziegler writes with urbanity and wit but is unflinching in his
judgments."--Times Literary Supplement
