“A superb alternate look at Roman history.” ― New York Journal of Books
“Ancient Rome faced many threats from outsiders, so-called barbarians. Relying upon a combination of sources—literature, mythology, and history (Plutarch, Livy)—Kershaw painstakingly chronicles them all in this often-grisly account of an empire under siege.” ― Booklist
“An interesting take on Roman history focused on the peoples that resisted its growth and eventually brought about its destruction.” ― Kirkus Reviews
"As his exhaustive survey shows, Atlantis has been adapted to countless ideologies and agendas over time, serving the needs of every sort of reader. The tortured moves that Mr. Kershaw documents, by which the Atlantis myth has been recast as fact and willfully misread, remind us of how vital such distinctions are for a society striving to stay free." ― Wall Street Journal [praise for Steve Kershaw's "The Search for Atlantis"]
"Readers interested in the classics will find this satisfying." ― Publishers Weekly [praise for Steve Kershaw's "The Search for Atlantis"]
