"This is the most urgently important book I have read this year or in many years. ...The Age of Killing will provoke, enrage, and inform its readers--and it will change how they see the world. An epic masterpiece. "

Sunil Amrith, author of The Burning Earth

Yes, pretty grim. But I hope it is still a good read!

First review of my new book, The Killing Age: (www.goodreads.com/review/show/...)
"-A bombshell of a book—Crais proves that modernity was built not on ideas, but on corpses.
-The Silent Spring of history: an unflinching exposé of how violence became the world’s most profitable industry."

First bound copies of uncorrected proofs recently arrived at Picador!

So thrilled to be on a platform that is not X (which I had stopped using some time ago)! I will be posting here on various issues, including a new book, The Killing Age, that will have an interactive webpage that will allow users to explore how the world came to be over the past few centuries.
