Why read it?
1 author picked The Deluge as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The book of Adam Tooze is a masterful synthesis of global history and offers an original reinterpretation of the interwar years. Readers not only gain intriguing insights about the relationships between military, financial, political, and diplomatic events.
