Raffael Scheck, The German Quarterly
«Jonathan Wright has written a full-scale academic biography directed at an international specialist readership ... this work will set new standards in research.»
German Historical Institute Bulletin
«[Wright] has produced a thorough, well researched study of the man he sees as "Weimar's Greatest Statesman" ... Wright's interest is in Stresemann as the political leader and the foreign minister, and the book is tightly and clearly focused on this interest. Maps, photographs and a glossary enhance the work ... Scholars will find it the most thorough, up-to-date political study of Stresemann available in English.»

Amos Elon, New York Review of Books

Richard Overy, Literary Review
«... the first comprehensive biography in English of one of Germany's three greatest diplomats ... an admirably old-fashioned, academic biography: lucidly and crisply written, it deftly bridges domestic politics and diplomacy.»
Ben Schwarz, The Atlantic Monthly
«If Gustav Stresemann, an enigmatic and controversial figure, had not died prematurely in 1929, Germany might just have avoided a Hitler dictatorship. Jonathan Wright's magisterial and authoritative study is to be warmly welcomed as an unrivalled biography of the most important European statesman of the 1920s.»
Sir Ian Kershaw
«Wright's book is monumental in its research.»
Ron Grant, History Teaching Review
