The Deluge: The Great War and the Remaking of the Global Order, 1916–1931 is a history book byAdam Tooze, first published byAllen Lane in 2014. The American edition is titled:The Deluge: The Great War, America and the Remaking of the Global Order, 1916–1931, and was published in the same year byViking Press.
The book was widely reviewed.[1][2][3]
The Guardian called it a "bold analysis".[4]The Daily Telegraph called it "a formidable achievement".[5]
However, the book was also criticised by Kevin Matthews ofGeorge Mason University for being "shot through with misstatements, contradictions, inconsistencies and other, basic, errors". Matthews singled out interpretive errors primarily about events in British history, including the 1906 British election, the 1916 Irish uprising and the 1923 British election. He also criticised weak primary source attribution by Tooze.[6]
During an interview withAaron Bastani forNovara Media in 2023,Peter Hitchens said thatThe Deluge "must be one of the best history books ever written".[7]
