“Provocative…Astute…Dangerous Games should be read by anyone concerned with making the public dialogue as open and honest as possible.” Washington Post
“MacMillan is a superb writer who can bring history to life.” Philadelphia Inquirer
“Reminds readers that history matters…This is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the importance of correctly understanding the past.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“For both historians and lay readers, this thoughtful and provocative work will be enlightening and useful.” Booklist
