My Sunday Times review of The Picnic - a brilliant book about the nature of freedom thetimes.co.uk/article/the-pi…

Fascinating reading. Victor Sebestyen Victor Sebestyen, as an historian, is in the same league as Serhii Plokhy, Orlando Figes and S Sebag Montefiore.
By the author also “Lenin, the dictator” and “Twelve days. Revolution in Budapest”. Superb writing. #budapest
