Pressestimmen

'Absorbing and well written ... Anyone who has read Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian or grew up on John Ford westerns will be enlightened. Those yet to read that novel or see the movies will find that this book adds deep resonances to their pleasure' Michael Moorcock Guardian (10/3/07) 'Hampton Sides' outstanding narrative history has all the virtues: stirring set pieces, deft character studies, colourful descriptions of battles and of nature... a riveting tale where, for once, the word "epic" is not hyperbole' Frank McLynn, Independent on Sunday 'A familiar story [told] with compelling narrative zest' Robert McCrum, Observer 'Sides eloquently paints the landscape and history of the 19th century Southwest, combinIng Larry McMurtry's lyricism with the historian's attachments to facts' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'The type of sweeping history that was written by the likes of Bernard DeVoto and David Lavender ... [but] he populates his story not just with white Americans but also with diverse Indian peoples and Mexicans. And he does so with balance and sensitivity ... As you read it you can see it as an epic movie' TLS 'Sides' aptly named Blood and Thunder is a stunning history ... brilliantly written' HISTORICAL NEWS REVIEW
