“Clear-eyed . . . Arresting . . . An unorthodox and provocative
account . . . Snyder is admirably relentless.”—The New Yorker
“Black Earth is mesmerizing . . . Remarkable . . . Gripping . . .
Disturbingly vivid . . . Mr. Snyder is sometimes mordant, often
shocked, always probing.”—The Wall Street Journal
“Revelatory . . . Evocative . . . Most relevant today.”—The
Atlantic
“An unflinching look at the Holocaust . . . Mr. Snyder is a rising
public intellectual unafraid to make bold connections between past
and present.” —The New York Times
“Snyder’s historical account has a vital contemporary lesson. . . .
It’s a testament to his intellectual and moral resources that he
can so deeply contemplate this horrific past in ways that
strengthen his commitment to building a future based on law,
rights, and citizenship.”—The Washington Post
“Black Earth elucidates human catastrophe in regions with which a
Western audience needs to become familiar.”—The New York Times Book
Review
“An impressive reassessment of the Holocaust, which steers an
assured course [and] challenges readers to reassess what they think
they know and believe . . . Black Earth will prove uncomfortable
reading for many who hew to cherished but mythical elements of
Holocaust history.”—The Economist
“Excellent in every respect . . . Although I read widely about the
Holocaust, I learned something new in every chapter. The
multilingual Snyder has mined contemporaneous Eastern European
sources that are often overlooked.”—Stephen Carter, Bloomberg
“In Black Earth, a book of the greatest importance, Snyder now
forces us to look afresh at these monumental crimes. Written with
searing intellectual honesty, his new study goes much deeper than
Bloodlands in its analysis, showing how the two regimes fed off
each other.”—Antony Beevor, The Sunday Times
