Publishers Weekly on November 1942: “A gripping and propulsive account”

Publishers Weekly just published a wonderful review of Peter Englund’s November 1942 in Publishers Weekly:

“Swedish historian Englund takes a captivating firsthand look at a pivotal month of WWII by drawing on the diaries, letters, and memoirs of 39 people who lived through it […] This gripping and propulsive account, expertly translated by Graves in lyrical prose, recreates the daily uncertainty of war as experienced by regular people with limited information and few resources. It’s a monumental work of history.”

The US edition, published by Knopf, will be available 21th of November 2023.
