Absolutely magisterial work, obviously. And for me, an excellent counterpoint to Shier's similarly vast history of the Third Reich, given that Evans is quick to criticize it's lack of rigor as a historical work...though I enjoyed both immensely for different reasons. The first two in the trilogy are particularly fascinating in our current environment.
