Huge coverage for Sean McMeekin
10 Dec 2013
Sean McMeekin’s July 1914: Countdown to War has been widely reviewed and praised, and was named by Kirkus as one of the best non-fiction books of 2013. Other reviews and coverage include:
New York Times review Publishers Weekly starred review National Review ABC interview Kirkus review FT review Historically Speaking interview …and many more.
“[M]asterful.” —Washington Times
“[McMeekin is] a young, talented historian…. [He] is scrupulously fair and judicious in assigning blame…. McMeekin has written a fascinating and original study of the opening stages of World War I, a book that supersedes, in my view, any previous study of that great topic.” —John P. Rossi, Philadelphia Inquirer
“The historiography of World War I is immense, more than 25,000 volumes and articles even before next year’s centenary. Still, … Sean McMeekin, in July 1914, [offers a] new perspective…. McMeekin has chosen the zoom lens. He opens with a crisp but vivid reconstruction of the double murder in the sunshine of Sarajevo, then concentrates entirely on unraveling the choreography day by day.” —Harold Evans, New York Times Book Review
“[A] superbly researched political history of the weeks between the assassination of Austria’s Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the beginning of World War I…. McMeekin’s work is a fine diplomatic history of the period, a must-read for serious students of WWI, and a fascinating story for anyone interested in modern history.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Lucid, convincing and full of rich detail, the book is a triumph for the narrative method and a vivid demonstration that chronology is the logic of history.” —The Independent (UK)

09 Dec 2013
NetGalley has selected James Davies’ Cracked - Why Psychiatry is Doing More Harm Than Good as one of the ten best books of 2013.
“James Davies’ timely expose of the psychiatry industry makes for fascinating and thought-provoking reading. Using his insider knowledge to illustrate for a general readership how psychiatry has put riches and medical status above patients’ well-being, Davies shows a real flair for the polemic, as well as a real sympathy for the senstivity of the subject.”
