Reviews for The Ultimate Experience: Battlefield Revelations and the Making of Modern War Culture, 1450-2000
'Like a good detective story, Harari presents us with facts and clues which seem to lead towards one conclusion, only to puncture our certainties. This is a book of exraordinary wit, erudition, and range.' - Professor Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck College, University of London
