Media reviews

"There is no doubt in my mind that this book is a masterpiece [...] beautifully written and well-presented."
- Roger Penrose, Nature

"Chandrasekhar has provided us with a magisterial text on the classical black holes, outstanding in the depth and detail of its coverage [...] Throughout, a wealth of mathematical ideas is explained and employed in the process of extracting the properties of these space-times, and the similarities and differences between the different black hole space-times are thoroughly treated. This book is an undoubted classic, and wil remain a standard reference work on black holes for many years."
- Mathematics Today, October 1999
