Who would have thought that an account of an economic summit could be so absorbing? But it was no ordinary summit and Ed Conway's is an exceptional account (Evan Davis, TV and radio presenter and author of Made in Britain)

Brilliantly researched, and hugely entertaining, this is an essential book about one of the most important economic events of the twentieth century (Keith Lowe, author of Savage Continent)

A rattling good read (Spectator)

History with scholarship and verve . . . This is a ripe, resounding story, brilliantly told (Observer)

Keynes's charisma and wit enliven the excellent narrative of Ed Conway (The Times)

As a case study in how to wrangle diplomats and politicians, Bretton Woods is without peer and it is harder to imagine a book that better shows why than The Summit (Times Literary Supplement)
