Editorial Reviews

"A magnificent new survey. Donald Matthew's argument is built up in pointillist fashion. The detail is overwhelming. Most, if not all, is accurately reported, and much of it is drawn from unfamiliar primary sources. The end result is hugely impressive."—Nicholas Vincent, The International History Review
