“Describes a campaign nastier than portrayed in the usual TV documentary. Masses of innocent civilians suffered and died unnecessarily; Germans committed their traditional atrocities, but the Allies were not innocent. More than most writers, Glancey emphasizes the heartbreaking, often unnecessary destruction of Italy’s priceless art, architecture, and history, mostly by the Allies with their overwhelming air superiority.”

– Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Jonathan Glancey’s Concorde:

"A thoughtful hymn to a great symbol of the analogue age. Concorde will be the standard long read on the subject for years.”

– The Times (London)

"What Jonathan Glancey likes about Concorde could probably fill several books. His history of the Anglo-French supersonic airliner is nevertheless engaging, tracing the arc of Concorde's rise in the 1970s, an unlikely triumph of engineering and international co-operation, through to its decommissioning.”

– The Financial Times

"Jonathan Glancey is eminently qualified to write a history of Concorde. He fully appreciates the aesthetics and science of aeronautical engineering, and the lucidity of his prose makes his complex subject clearly comprehensible.”

– The Spectator

"How welcome it is to see a specialist book from someone who can write. What might appear to be yet another book on this widely exposed aircraft is actually one very much worth reading."

– Pilot

"Glancey skillfully tells the tale of a plane forged from a great trans-national alliance, and how it eventually fell from sky, taking with it—perhaps temporarily—the dream of a world shrunk small by the sheer force of technology."
