Editorial Reviews

'Once again Jeremy Black has placed readers in his debt. He has produced a work of concision, yet packed with much information, covering a relatively neglected phase of European expansion... An enviable mastery of reading and of material is supported by very valuable examples.' - Eric Boston, History, July 2003
