  Veronica Sì, Vittoria Non. Notes on the Poetry of Veronica Gambara
Bullock cites the presence of "Vinca gli sdegni" with another sonnet known to be by Colonna (from 15 other manuscripts), Vergina pura, che dai raggi ardenti" ("Lovely virgin, so innocent, happy").
Bullock simply dismisses another manuscript which contains 4 other poems by Veronica Gambara along with "Vinca gli sdegni", with the argument the placement is erroneous and an Italian article misread "Vinca gli sdegni" as by Veronica when the preposition meant to her.
Bullock begins by telling the reader what an arduous task is an edition of Vittoria Colonna as her work occurs in 53 manuscripts dedicated mostly to her, and in miscellaneous collections numbering more than 340.

 Hitler: A study in tyranny, revised edition, 1961, by Alan Bullock, book review
Bullock purports to give an in-depth evaluation of the role Hitler played in the history of the Third Reich, and of the talents that enabled him to secure and hold on to power.[1] He also tries to accomplish this in an impartial manner, and seems to succeed quite well.
It is regrettable Bullock did not use Papen’s memoirs to supplement the periods that concerned him, and of course Speer’s memoirs for the interesting evaluation of the psychological environment of Hitler and his immediate entourage during the War and especially toward the end of it,[2] which were not yet published at the time.
Bullock’s biography is especially masterful when describing Hitler’s formidable political instincts, especially as pertains to the first and second parts of the book, “Party Leader” and “Chancellor”.

To say, as Bullock does in this history, that Hitler was basically without an ideology is to make a mockery of his disturbing weltanschauung and to commit an enormous gaffe in apprehending his basic character.
Bullock himself improved his Hitler biography immensely with his 1996 Hitler and Stalin, a work which sets the two leaders in parallel with each other to good effect.

 Torn and frayed in Manila: Alan Bullock, Hitler and Stalin: Parallel Lives
Bullock’s description of the events just before and after the launch of Operation Barbarossa is one of the best parts of the book.
In his understated way, Bullock lays out the incredible suffering of the citizens of the Soviet Union in the period from the end of the first world war to the end of the second.
Bullock’s approach is chronological, so questions like “how did a complete dork end up ruling an empire that, at its greatest extent for a brief period in late 1942, encompassed almost the entire continent of mainland Europe?” are dealt with in a number of analytical chapters interspersed in the onrushing narrative.

 Book Review by Anthony Campbell: Hitler: A study in tyranny, by Alan Bullock
His appearance was undistinguished and his mind commonplace and vulgar, yet he was able to impose his will on almost everyone around him (the main exception seems to have been the Russian foreign minister Molotov).
Bullock comments on this power but cannot explain it except by saying that Hitler's gaze had a strange hypnotic character.
In fact, however, as Bullock makes clear, it was always Hitler's intention to fight the Russians; his aim from the beginning was to expand towards the East, not the West.
