- ... that Thurston Clarke found it "a chilling thought" that The Chariot of Israel would be "cluttering library shelves"? Source: "Sir Harold should consider that long after he departs, The Chariot of Israel will be cluttering library shelves, available to historians and biographers searching for clues to his views on the Middle East and his character and intelligence. If I were Sir Harold, I would find this a chilling thought." (Thurston Clarke (June 13, 1982). "Reluctant History". New York Times.)

Overall: @No Swan So Fine: thanks for creating this. Coincidentally I had a flick through this book a few months ago, and at that time read many of the same reviews you have summarized in the article. The article is new enough, long enough, passes Earwig (the only things showing up are quotes), and the image has a good free use rationale. My only comment is that it doesn't mention Wilson's apparent one-sidedness vis a vis the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict; this can be easily solved with the addition of the excellent The Spectator review by Paul Foot: [1]. Foot's review makes for a fascinating read – almost 40 years to the day that it was written, very little has changed. Onceinawhile (talk) 21:12, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for finding that review. I've tried to paraphrase it in my recent addition. Do you have access to the Guardian/Observer archive? No Swan So Fine (talk) 22:13, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
- Good to go. @No Swan So Fine: thanks for this. Unfortunately I don’t currently have access to that archive. Onceinawhile (talk) 07:47, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
