Enormously readable ... so engagingly written that readers of all political persuasions should enjoy it * Sunday Times on War and Gold *
A meaty, thoughtful and well-written book * Literary Review on War and Gold *
A searing study of how the Spanish conquistadors introduced conflict for the sake of wealth which shows that money and battle remain inseparable * Independent on War and Gold *
A complicated story well told, from which financial lessons emerge naturally * Financial Times on War and Gold *
Well written. To avoid the trap of being wise a generation after the events, he has relied throughout on contemporary documents, memoirs and newspapers to form a clear idea of how Margaret Thatcher was seen in 1981 -- Andy McSmith * Independent *
Sharply focused * Literary Review *
Where Kwarteng scores ahead of other chroniclers is in understanding and describing the moral certainties that drove Thatcher -- Philip Webster * The Times *
