About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf Inc., 1997. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. A pristine book. ". the book has two notable features. The first is the writing, which is quite remarkable--vigorous, moving, exciting. All the plots, counterplots, subterfuges, stupidities, back-stabbings and confusions during these five months are lovingly detailed. It is possible to say, without exaggeration, that Days of Defiance reads like a novel. The second feature is the sharply drawn sketches of the men and women who crowd this historical episode. Among much else, Mr. Klein's portraits provide keen insights into character. In short, this is a book to savor." -- The Wall Street Journal, Robert V. Remini
